Greetings Desert Rats & Aficionados of Everything Stinkin’ Hot & Arid Extra Dry! Each day until winter solstice, I’ll be posting a brief excerpt from my new anthology from the University of Arizona Press that features 25 stunning voices from a half dozen cultures with special insights into desert living. As you read this excerpts from artists, botanists, contemplatives, ecologists, geologists, historians, photographers, songsters and zoologists.
“I encourage you to see, smell, hear, taste, and touch the desert as if you have been gifted with new eyes, noses, ears, mouths and hands, And when you enter recover your wits and relocate your place in the enchanted desert, perhaps you will enter into a fresh and exuberant relationship with everything that sticks, stings, sings, swings, springs or clings in arid landscapes.”
