Ruby Mountain takes readers on a powerful, evocative spiritual and personal journey of the Mojave Desert by longtime poet/resident Ruth Nolan. These poems, written in an exciting mix of high and low poetic forms - from sonnet to ragged free verse - employ the very best of imagery, poetic subtleties, and evoke the inner poetry of the desert’s exotic geographies and more recognizable iconic features, and embrace a wide sweep of subjects, including a lover’s suicide, environmental protests against large-scale renewable energy project sited on sacred American Indian sites, and a re-telling of one of the Mojave Desert’s most famed and enduring romantic tragedies, the story of Willy Boy.
