Tallgrass Tales from the Republic of Grass
I have written on many topics over the years, but none have emerged from my pen with such ease and clarity, or been underwritten by such passion, as these thoughts and stories about life on the last fragment of tallgrass prairie. I believe that’s because, for the first time in my life, I live in a place that’s quiet enough I can hear myself think.
