No Charity in the Wilderness is a long journey into the new American West. From the southern border to the isolating two-lane highways in the desert, this collection is a prayer of reconciliation with so much that troubles us--those who live without resources or voices--and their possible future in this ever-changing landscape of desire.

Griffin has spent many decades in the high desert trying to find the way forward--when what he knows has been challenged and still there is breath on the horizon. One day an ancient Chinese poet comes to visit: "Snow deepens/ to quiet what I once believed, and Wang Wei stoops from the spine: / this is how you become silence." Even if you doubt the old poet's counsel, like Griffin, you want to journey with him into the wilderness.
