 | Another Desert by Joan Logghe, Miriam Sagan
This collection blends the history, celebrations, and reconciliation of ancient Jewish traditions with life in New Mexico. The circle of the Jewish year is saturated by the New Mexico experience as tashlich is performed in a precious desert river, and Passover coincides with Good Friday pilgrims making a holy journey to the Santuario de Chimayo. At root these are poems of faith -- in the beauty of the desert, in the survival of tradition and memory, and ultimately in the ability of language to contain and express experience.
