The Landscape of Home

In October 2001, Denver's legendary Tattered Cover Book Store, in partnership with the Rocky Mountain Land Library, established a special new author forum-the Rocky Mountain Land Series. So began a lively exchange between authors and readers on questions of land and community in the American West. Over two hundred I and Series programs later, The Landscape of Home celebrates the fifth anniversary of this award-winning series. Include in the thoughtful collection from the Land Series' first five years is an intriguing mix of well-know writers-Craig Childs, Ann Zwinger, Gary Ferguson, Stewart Udall, and Douglas Chadwick-along with several strong new voice of the West: Gillian Klucas, Andrea Peacock, and Jeffrey Lockwood, among others. Each in their own way speaks of our enduring ties to the land. The Landscape of Home not only paints a vivid portrait of life in the Rocky Mountains, it also presents some of the finest nonfiction writing to be found in America today. Book jacket.
