Language for an American Landscape
Edited by Barry Lopez and Debra Gwartney

A book of writerly and accurate definitions of the land and water features of the American continent. I was honored to be involved in writing this historic book, whose entries reveal the vast and storied particulars of our continent — from the dreen tides of New England to the pingos of Alaska.
