The images in this new collection are more personal, more elegiac--and all black-and-white. They bear witness to the fracturing of the American Dream, the demise of cowboy culture, and the shrinking of small towns, ranches, and farms throughout western rural America. The themes she examines are reflected in \u003ci\u003eThe Devil's Highway\u003c\/i\u003e, a powerfully evocative short story by Pulitzer finalist William deBuys, first published in 1992 in \u003ci\u003eStory\u003c\/i\u003e magazine and reproduced here for the first time. Myers and deBuys previously collaborated on \u003ci\u003eSalt Dreams: Land and Water in Low-Down California\u003c\/i\u003e, which inspired the highly acclaimed film, \u003ci\u003eThe Colorado\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMyers has spent much of her time roaming the American West, but has also worked in India, the Canary Islands, Antarctica, Java, Sicily, Sardinia, Hawaii, and more.
