[1981] · Layton, Utah
by Williams, Terry Tempest. [Telford, John; illus.].
Layton, Utah: Gibbs Smith, Publisher, a Peregrine Smith Book, [1981]. Square octavo, softbound (bright, full-color illus. wrappers), cover flaps, 96 pp. Fine (As New). “This collaboration between photographer John Telford and writer Terry Tempest Williams is an intimate meditation on one of the earth’s most extraordinary landscapes. Telford’s spectacular color photographs of the region’s canyons, mesas, hidden waterways, arches, Anasazi cliff dwellings, and desert vistas are rich with the reflected light that elevates rock into sculpture. Tempest Willims’ stories celebrate the legend and ritual surrounding this sacred place, creating a compelling new mythology for desert lovers -- persons quietly subversive in the name of the land. Take together, these photographs and words are an invitation, an intitiation into the desert’s sactuary of secret’s -- Coyote’s Canyon. (Inventory #: 00222s)
