This review is from: The Desert Is No Lady: Southwestern Landscapes in Women's Writing and Art (Paperback)
The Desert is No Lady is a book of careful scholarship about a much neglected subject, and is also a work of love. The authors have gathered the voices of 19th and 20th century women -- Hispanic and Native American as well as white -- who found their inspiration and muse in the severe but haunting beauty of the southwest US desert. The voices that emerge here collectively invite the reader into her or his own "center of boundless desire" (p. 29). The voices woven together unify body, place, and spirit in evocative detail. This book is an academic resource, but is far more than that: it is pure poetry!
