PHOTO CREDITS: The photographs in this issue were taken by Larry W. Schwarm, Assistant Professor of Art at Emporia State University. The images were made in Lyon and Chase Counties, Kansas, from 1990 to 1992. They document aspects of day and night burns, of shortgrass fires that barely simmer and the wildness and violence of the tallgrass fires, and they capture the aura and beauty of the sping ritual of pasture burning.
