Virga & Bone: Essays from Dry Places - Paperback
Description
by Craig Childs (Author)
"Sumptuous and vivid in every instance. Childs writes with enviable concision and richness of depth in these miniature essays."
--THE UTAH REVIEW
Writer and adventurer Craig Childs dwells upon desert icons--human, animal, and otherwise--in these contemplative and visceral essays. 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.
