Description

The Solace of Open Spaces is a collection of lyrical essays that explore life in the American West. Gretel Ehrlich's personal journey into this vast and rugged landscape began after her partner's death, when she stayed on to find solace in the remote reaches of Wyoming.

Through her portraits of the people who call this land home - from hermits and ranchers to rodeo cowboys and schoolteachers - Ehrlich captures both the beauty and cruelty of the natural forces that shape this world. Her essays are raw, meditative, and uncommonly wise, offering a unique tribute to the life she chose and the geography she loves.

Originally written as journal entries addressed to a friend, these essays form an evocative and vibrant tribute to the interplay between our interior lives and the world around us. With prose that is expansive and charged, Ehrlich explores the magical connection between the natural world and our own inner landscapes.
