Description
While better known for his nature writing and his comic classic The Monkey Wrench Gang, Edward Abbey was also an enthusiastic creator of verse. The New York Times called his memoir Desert Solitaire "deeply poetic"-and now Earth Apples gives us his actual poetry, in Abbey's first and only collection.
Whether writing about vast desert landscapes, New York City, or a love of bawdy women, Abbey's verse is eloquent, irreverent, and unapologetically passionate....

Description
The environmental movement stands on the shoulders of one of the American West's leading advocates, the late Edward Abbey. Here he admonishes us to make a difference, "to oppose injustice, to defy the powerful, to speak for the voiceless." With wry humor and candor, he points to the serious environmental crises caused by "simple greed" and "stealing from our children."

Description
Edward Abbey was an anarchist, activist, philosopher, and the spiritual father of the environmental movement. He was also a passionate journal keeper, a man who filled page after page with notes, philosophical musings, character sketches, illustrations, musical notations, and drawings. His "scribbling," as he called it, began in 1948, when he served as a motorcycle MP in postwar Italy, and continued until his death in 1989, totaling twenty-one volumes.
