Also included is an article by John Briggs that describes the Konza, and explains the biological importance of prairie burning and the methods that are used. Elizabeth Dodd's essay takes the reader right along with a team on an actual burn to vividly experience a Konza Prairie controlled burn. In addition, included is one of her nature-based "ecopoems," for which she has gained national recognition.
