Desert landscapes in prose and photographs

This collection brings together selections from Ellen Meloy’s writing and Stephen Strom’s photographs, drawing on a collaboration that continued after Meloy’s death in 2004. Strom returned to her work as he made new images, pairing the photographs with prose that reflects their shared connection to desert landscapes. Edited by poet Ann Walka, the book presents that evolving exchange between image and text as its defining structure.

Book overview

Writer and naturalist Ellen Meloy and photographer Stephen Strom met in the fall of 2004 and began work on a book of images and prose expressing their shared love of the desert. Two months later, Meloy died suddenly at her home in southern Utah. Over the years to follow, Strom called on Meloy's writing to put his new photographs to words. The collaboration seemed to deepen over time, and it comes to fruition in This Desert Hides Nothing, edited by poet Ann Walka, a friend of Ellen Meloy.
