reviewed What Wildness Is This: Women Write about the Southwest on February 07, 2019 What Wildness Is This: Women Write about the Southwest
The 4 Texas women editors of this anthology wanted to fill a gap that they believed existed in nature writing, especially in nature writing about the southwest area of the United States. They had noted that most of the well-recognized nature writing in the past had been created by men, and so had a perspective of nature as something to be conquered, writing that reflected individualism and self-sufficiency. They felt that women had been "denied membership" in the "nature writing club", and so began soliciting and researching works by women reflecting their experience of life in the southwest. This volume is the result of their efforts, and is well worth reading. Most of the pieces contained herein are very short; I don't think any were over 3 pages. There are also numerous poems included, and most of those are only one page in length. There are all kinds of subjects addressed here; most are women telling about some incident in their own life story, or discussing their observations of a particular area in the southwest. There are some great stories about river rafting on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, and about various hikes in different wilderness areas, about climbing canyon walls in Utah where foot and hand holds are those carved out by the Anasazi around 1,000 years ago. There are stories about finding flowers, about bird watching, cave exploring, seeing ancient cliff dwellings; and about daily living in the desert, or during droughts, or in the woods. There are several about sustenance, and cooking, about green chili, and dumplings; in one of my favorites, a women tells about her memories of first learning to make tamales, as all the women from her family gather in their New Mexico home for this occasion.
I do not usually like short stories, but I loved this collection, with so many different women telling about their lives, and especially about their own experiences in the natural world. I have the names of many more women authors that I want to look for and learn more about what else they have written. I am really glad these editors decided to "fill this gap".
This meets the challenge to read an anthology in the group, A Book For All Seasons.
