Jan Haley's photographs in "Free Flow: The Gila River in New
Mexico" illustrate the Gila's journey from its high mountain source
to the arid canyon lands where it leaves New Mexico. Riverscapes,
aerial views, and intimate close-ups expose secrets of a river
environment, bringing the Gila to life in the pages of this book.
The inspired verse of New Mexico poet Carol Sinor offers perfect
punctuation to these uncommon photographs. Gila River aficionados
and those who have never been there will find themselves returning
time and time again to the journey contained in "Free Flow: The
Gila River in New Mexico."
"The Gila River is under attack from people who want to divert
its water and channel its wildness. Buy this book. Contemplate its
images. Write your own poem. We are all called upon now to engage
with beauty and with what threatens beauty."--Sharman Apt Russell,
author of "Standing in the Light: My Life as a Pantheist" and
"Hunger: An Unnatural History"
"As New Mexico's last free-flowing river, the Gila continually
amazes me. Its ancient waters and abundant wildlife are a gift to
the people of our state. Dragonflies, wildflowers, cottonwoods, the
Southwestern Willow Flycatcher, the threatened Loach Minnow, all
combine to create a mystical atmosphere that has been celebrated
for centuries. Jan Haley's emotional photographs catch the Gila in
moments of time that will forever remind us of what we have--and
what we will strive to always protect."--Diane Denish, Lt. Governor
of New Mexico
