Bøker i Voices in the American West-serien

Michael Ventura's owned only one car his entire life: a green '69 Chevy Malibu. Its wheels have crisscrossed the American landscape over more miles than a round trip to the moon. His essays convey a tactile and intimate relationship with land and people - and of course the car. In this collection the essays switch lanes with Hancock's evocative black-and-white photographs.

Amy Hale Auker's first book of essays, Rightful Place, was the story of awoman finding beauty in her place, the Llano Estacado. Her new collection of creative non-fiction, Ordinary Skin, explores her mid-life transition with prose poems and essays that illustrate a new terrain as well as new ways of being in the world.
