  • the
  • work
  • reflects
  • the

  • American
  • naturalism,
  • revealing
  • both
  • the
  • beauty
  • and
  • ferocity
  • of

  • as
  • well
  • as
  • the
  • resilience
  • of
  • those
  • who
  • inhabit
  • them.

  • of
  • a
  • place
  • where
  • man's
  • ambition
  • is
  • often
  • matched
  • against
  • the
  • raw

  • of
  • nature.
