Going Back to Bisbee synopsis

Winner of the 1992 Western States Book Award for creative non-fiction, Going Back to Bisbee is Richard Shelton’s first major non-fiction book. It recalls his journey through southern Arizona from Tucson to Bisbee, as he began his career as a teacher and writer of poetry. Shelton takes readers on many side trips along the way, sharing details on local history and the natural wonders that occur in the desert Southwest.

Going Back to Bisbee is the OneBookAZ 2007 selection.
