Virga & Bone: Essays from Dry Places by Craig Childs

5.0

Childs' mesmerizing prose is reminiscent of Edward Abbey. If the desert and nature call to you, you'll love reading his work. This collection of essays about experiencing the desert will draw you into dry and ancient places in the Southwest, sharing archaeological observations and modern viewpoints of a unique and strangely-beautiful arid world.

Disclosure: I have been privileged to participate in two writing seminars taught by Craig Childs, and hope to enjoy the opportunity to learn from this accomplished writer again in the future.
