Thirty-three Texas Writers respond to environmental degradation from the Panhandle to the Gulf, from the Piney Woods to Big Bend. Including:

If the wild beauty of the made and physical natural world is lost or further compromised, then how much longer can the echoes of that beauty and innocence remain kindled in our own hearts? I suspect we won't know the answer until it's all gone . . . which makes the art the voices and the minds of the writers gathered here all the more important.
