“Landscape architect, Christie Green, possesses a keen way of reading and writing about the

landscapes of the American West and the non-human species who inhabit them. Tracking

and tracing, listening, smelling, and following the animals she hunts and fishes, Green seeks

to understand the biological and embodied wisdom of the animals - elk, deer, grouse, turkey,

quail, and salmon - about attuning to the Earth, survival, and the importance of returning to—and

protecting—home.

The University of New Mexico Press is delighted to be the publisher of Green’s forthcoming trilogy

(Moonlight Elk, Salmon Dreaming, and Undamming the West) that works toward nature-based

approaches to thinking about and (re)designing our built environments in the wake of climate change

fueled by masculine-dominated systems of destruction that tend toward dominion over

the feminine and the Earth.”
