Stone Time - Southern Utah -- A Portrait & a Meditation (Hardcover, 1st ed)

"Noted historian Watkins... gracefully evokes his excursions through a realm where 'stone and sky and water speak the language of memory.' His black and white photography recreates the mystery and poetry of a region that, according to this eloquent brief, deserves federal protection as a designated wilderness". (Publishers Weekly)

Renowned wilderness writer T. H. Watkins offers a portrait of remote areas of the fragile and beautiful canyonlands of Utah. He gives us a panorama of majestic mountains, buttes, and mesas; forest views of pinon and juniper and tall mountain sage; and intimate glimpses of rivers weaving through red rock slits in the earth. Through Watkins's exquisite visual and literary images shines his deep commitment to saving treasured wildlands that were old when humankind was "yet ungraced by the breath of Creation".
