Sixteen short stories set in America’s desert Southwest.
(Virga: rain that evaporates before reaching the ground.)
From the award-winning short, “Mather Point,” in which a young man, alone at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, reflects on a love long lost, to “Have You Seen Me?”--where a woman forest ranger tries to redeem herself by finding a teenager lost at Sunset Crater National Monument--Virga explores an emotional landscape where powerful feelings are, more often than not, suppressed.
