DESCRIPTION:
It captures the stunning biodiversity of the world’s most verdant desert through words and images. A place where lizards scramble and pause, hawks hunt like wolves, and bobcats skulk in creosote. Just as writers such as Edward Abbey and Ellen Meloy have memorialized the desert, this collection is sure to become a new classic, offering up the next generation of voices of this special and beautiful place, the Sonoran Desert. From the saguaro to the mountain lion, from the black-tailed jackrabbit to the mesquite, the species represented here have evoked compelling and creative responses from each contributor. Each creative contribution is joined by an illustration by award-winning

“The Sonoran Desert: A Literary Field Guide brings to life the beauty, strangeness, and biodiversity of the plants, invertebrates, birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians that make the Sonoran Desert their home. It is as charming as it is informative, even if you live nowhere near a desert. What a wonderful resource this book is.” —Ann Fisher-Wirth, co-editor of The Ecopoetry Anthology
