The Desert Hat

Surviving alone in the Mojave Desert for six and a half days, Ed Rosenthal crafts a collection of 36 poems that capture the essence of his experience rather than recounting it literally. Through evocative language, he explores themes of being lost and found, the strangeness of desert nights, and the transformative power of survival. Accompanied by 12 photographs of his hat and the surrounding landscape, the work offers a profound reflection on life and wisdom gained from solitude. An introduction by Ruth Nolan enhances the collection.
