Description
Winner of the Efráin Huerta National Poetry Prize, Desert Memory is a distillation of memories and emotions, images and experiences transformed into poetry. Exploring and evoking the deserts of Chihuahua, where she was born, Jeannette L. Clariond uses a mix of personal and Aztec mythology to recreate and relive her childhood, until memory itself is emptied, left deserted, yielding these poems, which recapture and release her experiences for us to share.
