description: Ruth K. A. Devlin brings a poet's eyes and ears to her wanderings through the Mojave Desert. Now a grown-up schoolteacher, the author has not lost the child's sense of wonder at perfect desert sunsets, perfectly-adapted desert plants, and long, silent days far from the city's distractions. Recording her thoughts in journals, she eventually collected a year-round selection in this slim book, illustrated with her own drawings and the photographs of her friend and fellow educator, Frank Serafini. The photographer and his camera served as a silent witnesses when words, and even poetry, proved inadequate. If someone you know has lost the ability to exult in the glory of nature, this book may restore it.
