Seasoning Fever Poetry The Hidden Room (Porcupine’s Quill)Seasoning Fever is Little House on the Prairie had it been written by Annie Proulx, Wallace Stegner or Cormac McCarthy. In limpid, dreamlike prose, Susan Kerslake serves up an epic myth of the West with perceptiveness both wise and innocent.

No simple tale of prairie homesteading,
