 Matter 13: Edward Abbey is now available for purchase online and at Matter Bookstore! The thirteenth issue of Matter Journal celebrates the life, work, and legacy of author Edward Abbey (1927-1989) and that sacred, dangerous, crazy canyon-carved region of the West many call “Abbey's Country."
Here are just a few of the many terrific pieces you can look forward to: Interviews featuring Charles Bowden, Doug Peacock, and Katie Lee; new fiction by Maximilian Werner, Michael Lewis, and Ned Mudd; nonfiction by Steven Schwartz, Ana Maria Spagna, and Laura Paskus; and poetry by Noah Eli Gordon, Dennis Fritzinger, Faith Walker, Andrew Schelling, Drum Hadley, Jane Miller, and Antler, among many talented others. We're including a novella, written by Dylan Quint and illustrated by Lauren Howell, and, for the first time in Matter's history, we're going full color with some of our pages to do justice to the photographs of Ed Abbey by John Blaustein and Lyman Hafen/Milo McCowan—and to the stunning canyon country of the Colorado Plateauby many local photographers as well.
The editorial collective at Matter Journal is pleased to offer this, our “Ed Abbey” issue, to those who adore Cactus Ed, to those who take issue with this controversial novelist and essayist, to those who may not have read an Abbey book in a few years, and to those who may be just now discovering this eloquent, passionate author and feisty defender of the wild American West. We hope that the collected voices in this issue provoke, inspire, agitate, infuriate, redirect, and get more folks out on the river, back in the woods, up in the mountains to fall in love all over again with the wilderness. So that we understand what we're losing before it's too late. Now, more than ever, we need Edward Abbey.
