Quincy Saul’s Utah 2025 is a transcendent tale blending nature- and travel-writing, poetry and polemic. Wandering the North American West with a notebook, a flute and the works of his beloved authors Edward Abbey, Martin Prechtel, and Everett Ruess, it is an adventure in words and rocks. Saul takes his personal pain into the ‘profuse pantheon’ of the wilderness, far from the ‘megamurdering megamachine’ of civilisation. He finds layers of knowledge, traditions, geology and ancient rock art, and the more these old ways draw him in, the more his pen is sharpened to denounce the idea of development. Witnessing this development in the long tradition of the exploitation and destruction of nature and native communities, Saul’s writing is as full of grief as wonder. This is a piece of work that asks what it is to be a travel writer, to be human and begs us, what will you fight to protect?
– Will J. Wood
