Trade Review“
Drylands is a beautiful, soulful exploration of an ordinary place made extraordinary through the words and pictures of two accomplished craftsmen. It is evocative of the best collaborations between writers and artists who explore rural America, going beyond a simple elegy for rural life and choosing instead to frame Adams County as both a unique place and a proving ground for the dynamic and complex changes reshaping American agriculture and small towns across the nation. It will be a compelling book for many audiences.”—Matthew Klingle, author of
