Love
Song to Glen Canyon Renown
rafter/explorer Katie Lee eulogizes a paradise lost:
Glen Canyon, drowned under Lake Powell along the Colorado River.
Her stunning photographs, poetry, fierce politics and her songs
tell the story. Katie’s
sixteen expeditions there“resurrected
my spirit, melted my heart, showed me time was not my enemy … and
diluted my ego to its proper consistency. The Glen gave me roots as
tenacious as the willow along its banks.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katie_Lee_%28singer%29

an elder slows ‘way down amid bustling urbanites; brutal and tender. Hard-Boiled

pair of winsome poultry outwit the farmer.
