The dry lands of the American West, stretching from Oregon to the Mexican border, have inspired writers and artists for generations. With Desert Places, a new series from the University of Arizona Press, some of our most accomplished literary desert rats describe that arid, haunting, often difficult country. Books in the series offer highly personal portraits of the land, taking in well-known venues such as the Grand Canyon and remote corners such as Utah’s Cedar Mesa, embracing landscapes from the thorn forests of coastal Sonora to the sandy expanses of Nevada’s Black Rock Desert and all points between. These books add up to an idiosyncratic encyclopedia of our arid region—and a highly readable, beautifully illustrated, and thoroughly memorable one at that. Series editor, Gregory McNamee
