His work has been variously described as being the melancholy voice of the worker, as the literary, earthly, and otherworldly best, as a celebration of human resiliency, with a u...

More than a decade ago, Stephen Collector began photographing brand inspectors throughout the West. This simple curiosity gradually became an obsession, resulting in Law of the Range, runner-up as the best Art Book in the Rocky Mountain region. Collector's goal was to achieve the portrait as landscape, and to know the landscape and its people. His black-and-white photographs document beautifully a part of the West missing and presumed dead. Ho...

Keith Wilson, professor emeritus and former New Mexico State University poet-in-residence, defines Graves Registry as a "Joint Service Operation that comes in after battles, and wars, to count the dead, identify bones, draw up a total of what has been lost." Wilson is a native New Mexican who attended the U.S. Naval Academy and served in Korea. Much of his work has been dominated by the reality and memory of war and the altered sweetness of li...

As The Los Angeles Times wrote, New Mysteries of Paris is "not so much stories as character sketches, artfully drawn, as though told by people very close to their subjects - the narrator of Andr Breton's Nadja, a companion of King Farouk, the painter August Mack describing the young Paul Klee. Gifford is relentless in his imaginative scrutiny of human frailty." The four stories that evolve through each narrator's soul-searching are by turns st...

The church I love is crumbling. A few pockets of vitality can't excuse the collapse and inertia on all sides. It is not a post-denominational, inevitable dwindling. Rather it is a demise due to neglect. It is a crisis. There can no longer be business as usual. This book sounds an alarm. It is medicine that will not be easy to accept or take. The indifference of our seminaries, tall steeples, clergy generally is deeply troubling. It is past tim...

Jessie had finished 8th grade in 1885 Mojave, CA, but her father wouldn't let her attend high school. He needed her to cook and wait tables in the family diner to pay for his daily excesses of tobacco and spirits.
