As chef of Adventure Calls Tours, she sees plenty of both, but few clients can match bad-tempered Violet Brock for pure cussedness.

Gilbert Storms offers an enthralling and richly-detailed account of Arizona as Pumpelly experienced it.

This is a tale of family, secrets, lies, and intended consequences. Abe Godwin wasn’t much of a father, and even less of a husband, so it was probably advantageous all around that he leave the three mothers of his daughter and two sons shortly after they were born. He kept track of his kids, however, and made himself known to them — and them to each other — when they became adults.
Tucson essayist and poet Márquez Price, who is “passionate about making an impact on others …by touching issues of the collective human fabric” once again brings personal experience and witness — often gritty — to this new collection of poems. Central to the work are the challenges and complexities of being a young Black man in America. As he did in his well-received debut collection, “My Train Is on Schedule,” Price tells stories. Abused childhood friends become violent adults.
