The New Colorado Canon

Colorado Black on White (2018) ✦ JOHN FIELDER

The 50th book from our state’s unofficial landscape photographer laureate is his first in black and white. You might think Colorado would be unrecognizable without its golden aspens, pink alpenglow, and bluebird skies, but Fielder’s 230 images prove that sans color, the textures of our most beautiful places come into even sharper focus.

Spotted Tail (2019) ✦ DAVID HESKA WANBLI WEIDEN

This biography of Sicangu Lakota leader Spotted Tail offers middlegrade (ages eight to 12) readers more than an account of his negotiations, in August.)
