Summary:

As it erupted in 1980, Mount St. Helens captured the attention of the region, nation, and the world, and it continues to fascinate us today--a constant reminder that we live in a volcanic landscape. In prose and poetry by writers and ecologists, In the Blast Zone explores this story of destruction and renewal in all its human, geological, and ecological dimensions. --From publisher's description.
