A collection of poetry and lyrical writings by Native American poet Laura Tohe celebrating Canyon de Chelly, accompanied by full-color photographs.

Truly awesome, the Canyon de Chelly National Monument has inspired artists from the first people to inscribe figures on the massive stone to contemporary photographers and painters. Hagerty does a good job of combining informative historical essays, profiles of artists and their methods of representing the canyon, and photographs of the place and the art. The volume captures the poetic spirit of Canyon de Chelly and its power.

"Join us for a trip into the Canyon and back in time. Learn about petroglyphs and pictographs and how they help explain the history of the Canyon's residents. Listen to the Navajo as they talk about their lives and why this place is so sacred to them."--Container.
