2014 Colorado Book Award Finalist Ed Quillen entertained Denver Post readers with his weekly columns for 26 years. Deeper into the Heart of the Rockies compiles the best from the height of his career on topics ranging from Colorado to small town life to national politics. "He was a straight-shooter, a fact-checker, a proud wordsmith, a brilliant thinker, a touch of down-home Colorado the likes of which are rare." - The Denver Post Editorial Board "He was a keen chronicler - a mountain-town crier, an unofficial state historian, and a self-described sloth. The first word that comes to mind to describe Ed is 'colorful, ' and I mean that as an absolute compliment." - Curtis Hubbard, Former State Editor of The Denver Post "Ed Quillen was a character in the full sense of the word-and a wordsmith of the first order . . . Our world has lost a one-of-a-kind voice." - David Perkins, The Bloomsbury Review

Winner of the 2020 Reading the West Advocacy Award Winner of the 2020 Colorado Book Award for Creative Nonfiction "This is a book for all of us, right now." —Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild On her 120-acre homestead high in the Colorado Rockies, beloved writer Pam Houston learns what it means to care for a piece of land and the creatures on it. Elk calves and bluebirds mark the changing seasons, winter temperatures drop to 35 below, and lightning sparks a 110,000-acre wildfire, threatening her century-old barn and all its inhabitants. Through her travels from the Gulf of Mexico to Alaska, she explores what ties her to the earth, the ranch most of all. Alongside her devoted Irish wolfhounds and a spirited troupe of horses, donkeys, and Icelandic sheep, the ranch becomes Houston’s sanctuary, a place where she discovers how the natural world has mothered and healed her after a childhood of horrific parental abuse and neglect. In essays as lucid and invigorating as mountain air, Deep Creek delivers Houston’s most profound meditations yet on how “to live simultaneously inside the wonder and the grief… to love the damaged world and do what I can to help it thrive.”
