""In this abundant space and isolation, the energy lords extract
their bounty of natural resources, and the curators of mass
destruction once mined their egregious weapons and reckless acts.
It is a land of absolutes, of passion and indifference, lush
textures and inscrutable tensions. Here violence can push beauty to
the edge of a razor blade. . . ."" Thus Ellen Meloy describes a
corner of desert hard by the San Juan River in southeastern Utah, a
place long forsaken as implausible and impassable, of little use or
value--a place that she calls home. Despite twenty years of
carefully nurtured intimacy with this red-rock landscape, Meloy
finds herself, one sunbaked morning, staring down at a dead lizard
floating in her coffee and feeling suddenly unmoored. What follows
is a quest that is both physical and spiritual, a search for home.
