Prairie Landscapes

A mash-up of Ted Kooser's Local Wonders, Roger Welch's Shingling the Fog and Ms. Colburn's lifetime as an environmental journalist. Prairie Landscapes represents the ramblings of one mind prowling the Great Plains. With its focus on families and landed communities, it brings you face to face with the prairie and its creatures, including the two-legged ones.

Prairie Landscapes includes 130 essays and reviews of about 500 words on a broad range of topics sometimes poetic, sometimes comic, and sometimes factual—written by a plainswoman out of a lifetime of intimacy with the prairie.
