A rich, immersive, and intimate exploration of the backbone of the world

  • Detailed maps and stand-alone essays trace core themes of migration, wildfire, climate change, habitat fragmentation, and abundance
  • Weaves science-based natural history with art, poetry, and lyrical prose from more than 140 contributing writers and artists
  • Organized into five distinct elevation zones, from high up in the alpine tundra down to the grasslands

Rocky Mountains Literary Field Guide is a rich, immersive homage to the Rockies--one of the last great intact mountain regions on Earth. Coedited by three naturalists and writers, this unique anthology braids together Western science and traditional Indigenous knowledge with poetry, prose, and illustrations to explore 130 regional beings, spanning mammals, birds, fish, insects, plants, fungi, and critical natural forces.

This beautifully curated guide showcases marquee regional writers--including Camille Dungy, Craig Childs, and Chris Dombrowski, as well as notable Indigenous voices like James Welch and Lois Red Elk--alongside stunning commissioned artwork from artists like Rebecca Lee Kunz and Latasha Greene. This generous, place-based celebration brings the eco-cultural heartline of North America vividly to life.
