Molybdenum Mine, Volume I, 1989

This piece commemorates a huge scar that gapes across acres of abused wilderness in northern New Mexico. Wandering illegally among the heaps of discarded mining equipment, I reach down to find the 'text' for this book. Not until I am back in my cabin do I realize the 'words' I have picked up are fool's gold and rust -- poetic justice for this site, the tailings of which have killed aquatic habitat for miles downstream in the Red River.8" x 21-1/2" x 9"
