From the thundering power of the river's swift current, to the stillness of clear freshwater pools; to desert springs, birds and wind, and rattlesnakes . . . and the terrible intrusion of man, Lopez allows us to share moments of intense personal experience as man tries to come to terms with the Earth's landscape, and with his own existence.

As title implies the poems in Desert Notes are just that; short notes each fitting a page. In four chapters the journey through desert unfolds. The landscape changes little at the start of each day leading the reader either to a stopover at one of many oases or to the very end of existence. Paradises are flickering with probing images in minds prone to exaggeration and death is a constant companion. The author attempts to balance both in a landscape humbled by scarcity. From time to time humanity steps in with self adoring ego to take into possession all left behind by gods. In a land scorched by sun anything is possible; the conquest, the perils of indignity, and stagnation in between. The authors intention was to pay a tribute to man however small endeavours he undertakes and portray the imminent loneliness of his dreams. The journey takes only 102 pages no more than an hour of the readers time.
