The scripted mission Thea must undertake is daunting. The guidance unfathomable. The experience dangerous and magnificent. The love unexpected, essential and of the highest nature one can conceive. A journey that is out of this world. One you have been invited to take.

For Joseph Bottone everything is relationship, and his poems point ultimately to one relationship, our relationship with the divine and the silence in which we discover it.  Whether set in the desert mountains of New Mexico, the coast of Big Sur, cabin or cityscape, his hand-sized poems are always arriving from silence. 

Some poems are meant to be heard, and some to be soaked up by the eye. This book carries both, to be shared in voice with community or passed quietly from one hand to another around a small campfire along a desert river, or between lovers on a summer night when it’s too hot to sleep. These poems delve into dreams, mountains, ravens and rattlesnake medicine, relationship and the mythic life of the human spirit, and remind us that what we seek is in our hearts all along.

Fixed and Free: poetry anthology 2011

Celebrating a group of New Mexico poets from differing generations, ethnicities and cultural settings, the Fixed and Free Poetry Anthology 2011 includes a variety of forms from the sonnet and villanelle to open verse and slam. Rather than rely on a regional, academic or ideological theme, this collection includes the best poems from a grassroots community that meets monthly in Albuquerque, New Mexico to perform, discuss and appreciate the written and spoken word.

Blessed

[publication date: spring 2012]

Set in a ghost town in California's Mojave Desert, Seeing Into Stone: A Sculptor's Journey is a memoir about the author's struggle with flaws in her vision, her carvings and her new marriage as she searches for her identity as an artist. Through her fifteen-year apprenticeship with Gordon Newell, a wise and patient stone sculptor, she learns that carving stone and wood can be understood as a metaphor for life: go with the grain and not against it; trust that the form inside will emerge in its own good time; and realize that understanding comes slowly, chip by chip.

Already There: poems

To find a hidden thing already there, one must first pay attention.  A childhood spent in the grand but unforgiving landscapes of the desert southwest and a career as a national security analyst reinforced that insight for Shirley Blackwell.   Already There is an eclectic harvest of poems found by combining rigorous intellectual investigation with a personal longing to understand both the workings of the cosmos and of the human heart.   

In A Rose Wood Wandering

In a Rose Wood Wandering is a collection of poems, stories, meditations, and reveries that explore facets of the word and the idea of Rose. It roams through gardens, orchards, and forests burgeoning with large and small members of the family Rosaceae, visits women named Rose, and even looks at rose-patterned china teacups and silver spoons with roses on their handles..

The book reflects the author's intense interest in the world of plants.  As a friend of hers once said, "She has a love affair with trees."  Not only trees, but shrubs and flowers, as well as lowly wildflowers that some dismiss as weeds. She has a special fondness for the family of roses.

Piggybacked: poems
Joanne S. Bodin

Piggybacked, is a collection of poems that evokes universal experiences of beauty, pain, suffering, longing, joy, mirth, dreams, nightmares, and transcends them into the unorthodox world view of the poet. With thought-provoking imagery, these poems allow us to delve into the paradoxes of our own human existence.

The inspiration for this book came from the author’s relationship with her grandfather, also a poet, and their personal quests for freedom. The title of the book is an expression of ancestral ties that bind us through the generations.

In Silence I Speak: My Journey Through Madness

In Silence I Speak takes the reader on a journey of transformation. First into the depth of psychiatric illness that is often misunderstood, then through systems that intend to give good care but fall short, and finally to health restored and a life of recovery found beyond the identity and label of a psychiatric disability.

Richard is Missing: A True Account of a Kidnap/Murder on the Mexican Border

After more than a quarter century Dennis Harlan finally tells the true story of brutal murder, intensive investigation and speedy resolution that crisscrossed the U.S./Mexican border for 10 days and involved Mexican Federales, the Del Rio Police Department, Val Verde DA's Office, Texas Rangers, U.S. Customs and the F.B.I. Harlan’s blow by blow accounts taken directly from the case history that was his responsibility to write, reveal the professionalism with which he managed the case while dealing with his underlying feelings of loss about his fellow officer and compadre.

Richard is Missing is a great read for law enforcement officers, both veterans and those new to the territory, and for anyone with an inquiring mind and a keen eye for well documented accounts of true crime in a volatile locale that’s close to home—very close to home.

After the Murder: My Affair With a Felon

After seeing an inmate interviewed on a television program Mary began writing to inmates in state prisons. A few years later in a prison visiting room she met Mark.

Mark was twenty-five and serving twenty-to-life for a liquor store robbery that went bad and ended in murder. Mary, a college student, became enamored by the long and beautiful letters he wrote. She didn’t know that this murder, the death of someone she never knew, would become a transforming power in her life more than thirty years later.

Meaning of Mountains: poems

Composed with a voice of authenticity, this collection sings with a celebration of nature. These poems, crafted by visual artist and poet K. K. Cherry, illuminate a path for the reader through some of the more sublime landscapes of the Rocky Mountains, the small and hidden places so often overlooked. Cherry’s stylistic use of punctuation and enjambment, and her love of alliteration, create a lyric and meditative tone that resonates in the places where we come to befriend ourselves.

Consistent in candor with her nature poems, her personal  anecdotal pieces from childhood paint poignant scenes from a rural America that is not so much hidden as it has vanished.

Ceremony at Dawn: Hot Air Balloon Adventure

From the minute Carol set out at the crack of dawn for the Albuquerque Hot Air Balloon Fiesta, the colorful excitement and the surprises of the event won her heart and soul. Carol March’s story begins with the uncanny sight of the Dawn Patrol, three balloons lit from the inside out and floating in the blackness above a sleeping city about to waken to giant orbs rising in the clear New Mexican sky. We experience the careful planning and anticipatory excitement of spectators, chase crews and safety directors called “Zebras,” as they prepare for launch. And we watch as Carol, a reluctant bystander who is determined to never step aboard a basket about to be lofted into the air, is confronted with an invitation—and a challenge no one expected.

Accompanying Carol’s narrative of high adventure are the photographs of Bill Pearson, a videographer and skydiver with over 900 jumps. His keen eye for spatial context cause these full color images of the fiesta to lift the reader right off the page. Ceremony at Dawn is your escort through the wondrous ritual of hot air ballooning, and may well serve as your invitation.
