Writing the Desert Southwest
From the tales of Death Valley to the bright lights of Las Vegas and from the towering saguaros of the Sonoran Desert to the pinon forests of northern New Mexico the Desert Southwest has many faces, many lifestyles. It is a region filled with mystery, a home to numerous Native American Peoples, to descendants of the Conquistadors and Mexican immigrants and thousands of others from this country and from around the world.
The desert gives us space to confront the elements and ourselves, to focus on the unnoticed and to dream. In this volume 27 writers share their visions in 44 pieces of poetry and prose which open a window on a land that is sometimes harsh, sometimes comforting and always fascinating.
