“I can’t think of a better guide—to whiptails, desert super blooms, craft beer. constellations, photography, fatherhood, community, and, well, life—than Simmons Buntin. From Denver to Tucson, to the Bosque del Apache, Mt. St. Helens, and beyond, Buntin writes with equal facility about the beautiful, dynamic intricacies of the natural world and the many lovely, knee-buckling complexities of family. These wide-ranging, self-aware, astute essays will leave you enlightened and deeply glad—glad right down to your heart and bones, the feathery roots of what some of us might even call a soul.”
— Joe Wilkins, author of The Entire Sky and The Mountain and the Fathers
