"What good is a desert? It's good because it's so starkly, stubbornly beautiful, a respite to the eye, a surcease for the mind, a beginning on a beginning. It fills my head, my heart, my psyche. It is a bare-bones image, unforgiving, realistic, uncompromising, a resonant jumble of flat and form."
Ann Zwinger, "What Good is a Desert" Audubon Magazine, March-April 1996
