Grace in the Desert: Poems and Lyrics Celebrating Tucson

By Don-E Merson

Grace in the Desert is a collection of more than 50 poems and lyrics about the wonders of the Sonoran desert of Tucson and the grace that abounds in its harsh environment. It is a love poem that looks truthfully at the Sonoran desert around Tucson and celebrates its unique wondrous contradictions. This collection looks at all of Tucson's diverse population from the grey pony-tailed hippies to the spoiled college kids and even the mentally disabled. It is an honest reflection of the joys and the sorrows about living in the Tucson desert. Brought to Tucson from the lush green forests of Maryland by the writings of Edward Abbey, don-E Merson has the eye of a foreigner in a strange land and notes all of its subtle beauties.
