‘It’s impossible to imagine another writer in America who is better than Craig Childs at elegizing the fearsome and confounding appeal of our most austere landscapes.’
—KEVIN FEDARKO, author of The Emerald Mile
From the author of The Secret Knowledge of Water and Atlas of a Lost World comes a deeply felt essay collection focusing upon a vivid series of desert icons—a sheet of virga over Monument Valley, white seashells in dry desert sand, boulders impossibly balanced. Craig Childs delves into the primacy of the land and the profound nature of the more–than–human.
CRAIG CHILDS is the author of more than a dozen books on nature, adventure, and science, including
The Secret Knowledge of Water and
Atlas of a Lost World. His work has appeared in the
New York Times, the
Los Angeles Times, and
Outside. Recipient of the Ellen Meloy Desert Writers Award and the Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award, he lives in Colorado.
