An evocative collection of fourteen poems that combines Pat Mora's simple, yet stunning words with Steve Jenkins' bright collage images to capture the beauty and mystery of the American Southwest.
In fourteen lyrical, beautifully spare poems, renowned Latina poet Pat Mora brings the landscape, animals, and people of the Southwest into sharp focus. Steve Jenkins richly textured cut-paper illustrations work with the text to evoke the power of this vast place where every heart has a home, and every dream has a piece of sky.
