LATEST RELEASE:
The Trail to Kanjiroba:Rediscovering Earth in an Age of Loss
Bill deBuys is one of the planet’s great observers, and this may be his masterwork—a story of an exploration, of Nepal, but also of the present and future of this planet. Caring for that world, and all that’s in it, is necessary, painful, and as he makes clear, exquisitely beautiful work.
—Bill McKibben, author The End of Nature
The Devil's HighwayOn the Road in the American West
Joan Myers’ images in this new collection are more personal, more elegiac—and all black-and-white. They bear witness to the fracturing of the American Dream, the demise of cowboy culture, and the shrinking of small towns, ranches, and farms throughout western rural America. The themes she examines are reflected in The Devil’s Highway, a powerfully evocative short story by Pulitzer finalist William deBuys, first published in 1992 in Story magazine and reproduced here for the first time.
