Virga & Bone: Essays from Dry Places by Craig Childs

A deeply felt essay collection focusing upon a vivid series of desert icons–a sheet of virga over Monument Valley, white seashells in a dry desert sand, boulders impossibly balanced. Childs delves into the primacy of our starkest landscapes and the profound nature of the desert. Virga and Bone is the first selection for One Book, One Utah.
