Description
Poetry. Poems composed while Joan Logghe was serving as the Poet Laureate of Santa Fe. These poems were written on site and all were written as love songs for the city and northern New Mexico, her home of 43 years.
"Joan Logghe disappears in this book, she disintegrates into cloud, yellow dust, water rushing down an arroyo, snow. If you want the taste and feel of New Mexico, this book is all you need. It has large, potential magic to ground the reader into the real. The poetry is tough, boundless and immaculate."—Alvaro Cardona-Hine
