The Dawn Collector: On My Way to the Natural World by Reg Saner

I first encountered Reg Saner, a local author in Boulder, years ago in a long essay about the Grand Canyon that I still remember and regard as the best piece of writing about the Grand Canyon I have ever read. This collection of essays is in a similar vein, although closer to home in and around the mesa country near Boulder, where I work. These essays are exactly the kinds of things I would write if I had any talent and some inclination to but words to paper instead of code. That may be why show more I like reading them. They remind me very powerfully of what I love about living in Colorado and being in the out-of-doors. show less
