Book excerpt: "These things are real: desert, rocks, shelter, legend" (Judith Fryer). Coyote's Canyon evokes the beauty and mystery of southern Utah's desert canyons--home to Navajo and to the Anasazi who came before, and spiritual homeland to the Coyote Clan, thousands of individuals who draw nourishment from this land. This collaboration between photographer John Telford and writer Terry Tempest Williams is an intimate meditation on one of the earth's most extraordinary landscapes. Telford's spectacular color photographs of the region's canyons, mesas, hidden waterways, arches, Anasazi cliff dwellings, and desert vistas are rich with the reflected ligh that elevates rock into sculpture. Tempest Williams' stories celebrate the legend and ritual surrounding this sacred place, creating a compelling new mythology for desert lovers--persons quietly subversive in the name of the land. Taken together, these photographs and words are an invitation, an initiation into the desert's sanctuary of secrets--Coyote's Canyon. photographs throughout
