What will this cosmic couple cook up next? Nancy Wood's lively take on how a duo of married chefs got all of us started is magically and hilariously brought to life through Timothy Basil Ering's extraordinary illustrations. Deep in the heavens, in the space between the clouds, Mr. and Mrs. God is hard at work in their Creation Kitchen. They've got frying pans and mixing bowls, beaters and whisks, and an oven big enough to roast a star - which is just what they are doing! After the sun and earth are finished, all kinds of interesting creations come next, with beaks and claws and growl and roar baked right in. When each creature is cooked to perfection, they set it down on Earth. But that's only the beginning.

More than thirty years ago and armed with little more than a camera and a vision, Western writer and photographer Nancy Wood set out in a battered Subaru to capture a vanishing part of the American West. Focusing on the Grass Roots People of Colorado, the Utes, Taos Pueblo, and homesteaders of Pie Town, New Mexico, Wood devoted nearly twenty years to cataloging the lives of the rural inhabitants. The result is an intimate portrait achieved through Wood's long associations with each subject. "Eye of the West" covers Wood's photographic career and pays tribute to the ideas and techniques she acquired from her mentor Roy Stryker, director of the Farm Security Administration Historical Section. These multiyear perspectives are a rare glimpse into a forgotten past and a unique part of the history of the American West.

Nancy Wood was born on June 20, 1936, in Trenton, New Jersey, United States to an Irish Catholic family.
Nancy Wood began work as a writer at 14 at the Beachcomber newspaper on Long Beach Island, NJ. She attended Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.
Nancy Wood moved to Colorado in 1958, where she lived until 1985 when she moved to New Mexico. After visiting Taos Pueblo in New Mexico in 1962, she became greatly influenced by the Puebloan peoples' culture and spiritual beliefs, which would come to inform her literary work.
Originally working as a writer, her first book was a collaboration with husband and photographer Myron Wood, titled Central City: A Ballad of the West (1963). Her first work of poetry was published by Doubleday in 1974, titled Many Winters: Prose and Poetry of the Pueblos, inspired by her time spent in the Taos Pueblo. This would mark a lasting collaboration with illustrator Frank Howell, who provided artwork and illustrations for Wood's publications until his death in 1997. She would go on to publish numerous collections of poetry into the 2000s, as well as novels and photograph collections.
Nancy Wood also published children's books, including How the Tiny People Grew Tall: An Original Creation Tale (2005), and Mr. and Mrs. God in the Creation Kitchen (2006), both of which recount traditional tales of the Pueblo people, as well as Thunderwoman (1999), which retells a Pueblo creation myth. In 2007, Nancy Wood published Eye of the West through the University of New Mexico Press, followed by The Soledad Crucifixion, which earned her a posthumous Zia Award from the university.
Nancy Wood died at her home in Eldorado at Santa Fe, New Mexico on March 12, 2013.
