Come with us as we explore the heroic actions of Barney K. Riggs (1856-1902) at Yuma and Pecos. In 1887, while a prisoner at the Arizona Territorial Penitentiary at Yuma, Riggs risked his life to save that of Superintendent Thomas Gates. Riggs received a pardon and returned to Texas, this time to the Pecos/Fort Stockton area. In 1893, the Jim Miller gang began terrorizing Pecos, and in 1896 Miller sent his two best henchmen to kill Riggs. However, Riggs put a .45 bullet through the brain of each, destroying the gang and making the streets of Pecos safe at last.

A series of extreme weather events - a freak snow/ice storm, a spring when trees were so stressed they struggled to make leaves, and a global record-breaking heat wave - is the topic of this book of haiku and photographs by poet and neuroscientist Judith Lauter.Set against a backdrop of political upheavals and the international covid pandemic, such meteorological events may seem too overwhelming for any kind of poetry, much less the delicate miniatures of haiku - but the poet's love of the natural world, her trust in its rhythms and rules, even in the face of radical departures from the norm, comes through in every poem and photograph. Her vision combines intimacy of observation with occasional flashes of humor, to reveal a spectrum of emotional colors and insight. The Endnotes provide a deeper appreciation of the facts behind the art, and the reader leaves the book with a sense of peace and transcendence, sharing the poet's wish that, as expressed in the Preface -the 'long hot summers' and the 'long cold winters'will return to normal levels and allow the Earth to rebound -as we her children know She can.
