Crosswinds v1.1 01.31.25 (2).jpg

IN THE CROSSWINDS

by Eli J. Knapp

​

In the Crosswinds is a probing, big-hearted quest for belonging on a tumultuous planet. Like Aldo Leopold and J. Drew Lanham, Eli Knapp, an ecologist with a philosopher’s soul, draws inspiration from our feathered brethren to illuminate essential conservation truths. In a common loon or wood duck, it turns out, is the preservation of the world.”
—BEN GOLDFARB, Crossings​

BITTER CREEK
by Teow Lim Goh

​

Bitter Creek, told with tension and power, recounts the competition between newly arrived Chinese immigrants and the white men already present in the space between Colorado and Wyoming. In the midst of environmental destruction is the colonialism of the country and the burden of racial hatred, all spoken behind the ethical consciousness of this brilliant writer.”
—LINDA HOGAN, A History of Kindness

THE WILD DARK
by Craig Childs

​

"The Wild Dark celebrates the beauty of the night sky, a testament to how many people are disconnected from the darkness where the stars—once used by our ancestors for navigation—shine brilliantly."

FOUNTAIN CREEK

by Jim O'Donnell

​

From its headwaters high up Colorado’s legendary Pike’s Peak to suburban concrete-lined canals, Fountain Creek has endured nearly everything humans could do to a single watershed. It has been dammed, diverted, drained, poisoned, restored, exploited, ignored—and yet it has survived. Journalist and archeologist Jim O’Donnell grew up exploring among the beavers and discarded beer bottles that have long populated Fountain Creek.

WATER BODIES

edited by Laura Paskus​

 

The human experience has always been shaped by water, by its absence and its abundance. Now, as the climate crisis worsens, dry riverbeds and record floods remind us that water was never merely a resource to be managed or a commodity to be sold. It wields the power to reshape continents and capture our imaginations—a force as beguiling as it is seductive. In Water Bodies, some of the West’s most thoughtful writers remind us why stories about water stretch back as far as we can remember and that where we find water, we find ourselves.

ICE TO WATER

by M Jackson

​

On the verge of losing everything, Ruth Harper, recently widowed and struggling with alcoholism, meets a mysterious man named Silas who helps her discover a rare ice cave on her property in Burnt Bay, Alaska. When images of the ice go viral on social media, tourists arrive at the farm gate clamoring to see the ice cave before it melts. As Ruth’s relationship with Silas deepens and dark secrets surrounding her husband’s death begin to surface, she must choose to take an unprecedented gamble and harness her life to a glacier whose future is just as uncertain as her own.

WITHOUT EXCEPTION.jpg

WITHOUT EXCEPTION

by Pam Houston

​

Without Exception is a call for freedom by way of abortion rights. With equal parts candor and lyricism, Pam Houston illuminates the interconnected histories of abortion in the United States and in her own life during the decades when Roe v. Wade was the law of the land. Houston guides us through the shifting landscapes of politics, the law, and self-determination in a country where access to medical care and the power to determine your own destiny are increasingly—and once again—dependent on geography and circumstance.
