With language that is lyrical despite the earthiness of its subject, Byl turns the words of work into found poetry ( brake on, choke on, pull, pull, fire ), offering a bridge for readers to those who would not speak like this themselves --a beautiful memoir of muscle and metal. -- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review A beguiling journey of self-discovery. -- Kirkus Reviews Here is a love story that encompasses wild country, skillful labor, hand tools, crusty workmates, and lingo formal and foul. As a woman, and a small one at that, the author must persuade the males on her crews that she can more than hold her own at hiking, trail-building, and swearing. She begins by convincing the man who becomes her husband, and ends by convincing the reader. You'll find plenty to relish here, in a narrative that's gritty, witty, and wise. --Scott Russell Sanders, author of A Conservationist Manifesto Christine Byl has been summering on trail crews for more than a decade and a half. A first-rate storyteller, she details the techniques and tools, and the spirit of fellowship and feel of the woods. If you love getting into the back country, or even if you're an armchair backpacker as Iam now at age eighty, you'll love Dirt Work. --William Kittredge, author of Hole in the Sky and The Nature of Generosity Every denizen of wild places from Laotse to St. Francis to Rachel Carson to black bears to field mice has depended upon trails. But rarely have we considered the people, tools, or toil that lay our favorite trails down. Dirt Work is a spectacular correction of this omission. Imbued with a tough-minded, ribald reverence for honest labor that brings to mind a female Gary Snyder or Wendell Berry (if you can imagine that!), Christine Byl does epic justice to the whole-bodied satisfactions that come of staying out in the weather, staying alert, and working one's ass [It] blends beauty and crudeness, grit and grace...
