Amber
Sparks and Robert Kloss. The Desert Places. Illustrated by Matt Kish.
Curbside Splendor, 2013.
The Desert
Places is a slim volume of art with a stylish re-telling of origin
myth, of lurking evil, its evolution, and the underlying
destructiveness of "progress".
I can
only take refuge in the title, alluding for me to Robert Frost's
"Desert Places," which, of course, begins: "You cannot
scare me . . . "
