artist and poet jacqueline mallegni moved to new mexico to dedicate herself ​to her art practice​ and to ​manifest the dream of​ ​building her own off-the-grid home studio. ​the high desert of abiquiu, with its​ wilderness and majestic mountain ranges, seemed the perfect place. the poems and​ ​art creations in this beautifully ​crafted volume are a record of​ ​her journey -- perhaps every artist's journey -- towards self-discovery​ ​and a deep ​connection with a sense of place​.

This uncompromising collection of stories comes from the widely acclaimed and award winning master of the short story, Bob Thurber. Here he weaves his tales around such facets of the human condition as Fathers and Fools, Women and Children, Marriage and Divorce, and Art and Artifice. Typically unsettling and revelatory, Thurber knows how to cast a story that depicts the coarse reality of life, and his skills are displayed here with both passion and sentiment. Thurber gives the reader a chance, not to peek, but to plunge head first into the deep, dark mystery of simple existence. Accompanied by photographs by the equally intrepid wordsmith and image maker Vincent Louis Carrella.
