The book captures a remarkable series of photos of desert canyons. The photos are good enough to keep the book on my office conference table. Ms. Williams' text provides stories of people encountering wilderness at the near edge of mystic experience.

Coyote's Canyon is a collection of photography of the Southwestern US, coupled with Terry Tempest Williams's haunting prose. The photographs are, by and large, rich and full of the sense of the desert. The collection of short essays by Williams includes two of my absolute favorite stories about the Southwest--the one about the Man who Buries Poems, and the one about finding the Perfect Kiva. Worth the read, for anyone who yearns for the desert, or who lives there and wants to rediscover an appreciation for its magic, both in photographs and in lyrical prose.

This simple book captures the essence of Coyote's Canyon in photos and tales. It brings the landscape in the comfort of the arm chair to share for such wonderful journey. The unique landscape is crafted over time for a master-piece to bring harmony and peace. It is a visual poem to beautify the heart with the four seasons in day and twilight. The slow motion stream creates heaven on earth and would lead readers into the unification of soul and nature.It is a wonderful book to enjoy!
