The Sandhill cranes of Whitewater Draw in Southern

The Sandhill cranes of Whitewater Draw in Southern Arizona are just the calm I need before the storm.

In my forthcoming book Satellite: Essays on Father

In my forthcoming book Satellite: Essays on Fatherhood and Home, Near and Far (Trinity University Press), I have no essays about invading Greenland, Canada, or Panama. I'm sorry to disappoint you. However, I do have essays about family, community, heritage, Sandhill cranes, whiptail lizards, rattlesnakes, Mexico, Mount St. Helens, the moon, a shrine dedicated to a sinner, Halloween, Vermont, technology, wildflowers, photography (it includes 17 of my photos in black and white), urban design, sustainability, sculptures, craft beer, circular vs. linear time, grace, spirit, ghosts, guardian angels, my daughters, my mother, Sweden, Nebraska, Civano, the Sonoran Desert, Bosque del Apache, Loreto Bay, the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest in Oregon, mountains, calderas, rivers, coastlines, and much more.

Satellite, which publishes March 4, is available now for pre-order at a 20% discount using SA20 at tupress.org/9781595343116/satellite.

As Michael Branch says, it's "a beautifully written love letter to the intertwining tendrils of nature and community."

Read more kind words by such good folks as Pam Houston, Elizabeth Dodd, John T. Price, Alison Deming, J. Drew Lanham, Janisse Ray, David Gessner, Joe Wilkins, and Scott Russell Sanders at simmonsbuntin.com/satellite.

Also, this is the official cover reveal!
