What The Critics Say

Tales, Tall and Short, From the High Desert

“The collection covers a wide range of subjects from the whimsical to the political, from a wide variety of contributors as various in age as high school emerging writers to solidly established and award-winning adults. Unsurprisingly, several write lovingly and knowledgeably of the spectacularly beautiful and often brutal high-desert environment they live in.”

– Rocky Mountain Reader

Understanding Of The Land and Its Beauty

“Most of the entries are set in the regional landscape, on ranches or mountains or high desert. They show an understanding of the land and its beauty but also its hardships and loneliness.”

The Denver Post

Beautifully Crafted

“Our [Colorado Book Award] selectors felt that [the anthology] was beautifully crafted, and it transports you to the Four Corners region with a combination of story, poetry and essay.”

Valerie Eddy, Colorado Center for the Book
