An alcove that will blossom with a hanging garden as the season progresses. These verdant slips of habitat are found in the desert across southern Utah. Learn more in my essay in Canyon Echo Journal.

Hanging Gardens are found in the alcoves of southern Utah, verdant slips of habitat in the desert. Shown are cave primroses, an endemic that thrives in these gardens. Learn more in my essay in Canyon Echo Journal.

The Canyon Echo has taken on an earthy flavor since I started editing it. Learning more about geology in these last few months than I ever did in school from submissions like this: https://t.co/igis48zCnZ

This Impermanent Earth is a beautiful collection of environmental writing from the Georgia Review. My essay "The Carcass Chronicle" is included.
Thank you Doug Carlson for making this book, and for all you did for my essay.

Bought property and will be moving to Bluff Utah during my 60th year -- big changes. Bluff is a special place with great community. Will be building a home; will be wonderful to have a place to settle.

Have had a long hiatus from social media. Now back on Twitter.
Many changes in life, not least I turned 60. Celebrated with a fire in the Montana snow.

@MarkCocker2 You are an inspiration.

[Robin Patten @robinspatten]

@HelenJMacdonald You’re wonderful! Thank you. Good luck with everything.

[Robin Patten @robinspatten]

@HelenJMacdonald Hi Helen,
Wonderful! I suspect your life is very full. Sent you a message, and email. Hopefully they reached you. I remember that workshop at Moniack Mhor with warmth.
Hope all is well.
