In Yellowstone Rising award winning poet and photographer Lynne Bama addresses the legend, landscape and legacy of the world's first National Park. Yellowstone is many things to many people whether through memories of time spent within its pristine and somewhat otherworldly landscapes or through the thousands of images that continue to inspire curiosity, speculation and dreams. Yellowstone is a unique environment, for centuries a source of mythology and wonder to the native peoples who first came upon its strange and magical features, to the millions of tourists who explore its domain, and to the scientists who continue to probe its mysteries. Through the words of this poet and the lens of her camera Yellowstone's many and varied aspects are woven together into a tale of the past, present and future of a place unlike any other.
