Seven Dances Along the Wild Abyss: Journeys into Beauty, Risk and Wonder with Art Burrows

Presentations are Wednesdays at 6pm at Hallam Lake, in Aspen, CO.

About the Presentation and Speaker

Seven Dances Along the Wild Abyss blends adventure, natural history, western landscape writing, environmental reflection, and remarkable photography.

The rich anthology grew out of a lifetime spent in wild places—exploring and photographing–defining the thin line between beauty and risk.

Through seven remarkable geographies, the book explores risk, judgment, survival, humility, and our changing relationship with the natural world.

The book moves from the most ambitious ski traverse of Colorado’s Elk Mountains to the fastest known time on the Colorado Divide Trail, from Arctic sea ice to black bears and the changing relationship between humans and the natural world. Each chapter examines how we manage risk, and new perils shaped by climate. They explore how experience is earned, and how humility may be the most important survival skill of all.
