Much of Delicate Arch is the result of a 6,000-mile trip my wife and I took in the fall of 2019, when we visited many national parks and monuments. Previous and subsequent journeys have expanded its scope. My first experience of the national parks occurred over sixty years ago during a summer road trip with my mother and three sisters. I never forgot that first view of the Grand Canyon. The immensity of Time, the diversity of Nature, Man's capacity for wonder-in our national parks and monuments you experience that trinity for yourself. It is spiritual and holy in the truest sense. I thought that poems fostered by photographs was the best means for me to convey my own experiences. Reader, if you have not yet had the adventure, this book is an invitation to do so. If you have, then your own memories of these places will find resonance here. Seeing is believing. Parks and monuments included are Arches, Bryce, Casa Grande Ruins, Crater Lake, Craters of the Moon, Dry Tortugas, Everglades, Glacier, Grand Canyon (North and South Rims), Great Basin, Hagerman Fossil Beds, Hells Canyon, Kings Canyon, Lewis and Clark, Montezuma Castle, Mount Rainier, North Cascades, Olympic, Saguaro, Sequoia, Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Zion. The book includes twenty-three pages of original color photographs.
