Red: Passion and Patience in the Desert

In this potent collage of stories, essays, and testimony, WilliamsÂ makes a stirring case for the preservation of Americaâ€™s Redrock Wilderness in the canyon country of southern Utah.

As passionate as she is persuasive, Williams, the beloved author ofÂ Refuge, Â is one of the countryâ€™s most eloquent and imaginative writers.Â The desert is her blood. Here sheÂ writes lyrically about the desertâ€™s power and vulnerability, describing wonders that range from an ancient Puebloan sash of macaw feathers found in Canyonlands National Park to the desert tortoiseâ€“an animal that can â€œteach us the slow art of revolutionary patienceâ€ as it extends our notion of kinship with all life. She examines the civil war being waged in the West today over public and private uses of landâ€“an issue that divides even her own family. With grace, humor, and compassionate intelligence, Williams reminds us that the preservation of wildness is not simply a political process but a spiritual one.
