In Anthropomorphosis by playwright and author Stephen Evans, a post-divorce escape is transformed into a philosophical ramble through the spectacular wilds and wastelands of America. Recounting the seemingly random journey, informed by the essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the author explores our capacity for understanding the world around us, and ourselves.

Some of the spectacular sites in the American West explored on the journey include Pipestone, the Badlands, Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills, Devil's Tower, the mountains of Montana, Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, Aspen Colorado, and Independence Pass.
