    About this audiobook

    The late writer and naturalist Ellen Meloy wrote and recorded a series of audio essays for KUER, NPR Utah in the 1990s. Every few months, she would travel to their Salt Lake City studios from her red rock home of Bluff to read an essay or two. With understated humor and sharp insight, Meloy would illuminate facets of human connection to nature and challenge listeners to examine the world anew. Seasons: Desert Sketches is a compilation of these essays, adapted from their original cassette tape recordings. Whether Meloy is pondering geese in Desolation Canyon or people at the local post office, readers will delight in her signature wit and charm—and feel the pull of the desert she loves and defends. With a foreword by Annie Proulx.

      Ellen Meloy has a way of bringing you along to wherever she's writing from. Listening to her essays is like walking along with an old friend as they fill you in on their thoughts. Recommended to anyone who wants to take a trip to the deserts of southern Utah, or to Montana, and listen to some zingers about modern life.
