Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Book is flat signed by author on the ffep with a date. Book is clean with off white pages, covers have some wear that is difficult to see in the scans. Black Mesa Poems is rooted in the American Southwest, the setting of Jimmy Santiago Baca's highly acclaimed long narrative poem, Martin & Meditations on the South Valley (New Directions, 1987). "Baca's evocation of this landscape," as City Paper noted, "its aridity and fertility, is nothing short of brilliant." The individual poems of Black Mesa are embedded both in the family and in the community life of the barrio, detailing births and deaths, neighbors and seasons, injustices and victories. Loosely interconnected, the poems trace a visionary biography of place. We are donsbookstore in Albuquerque New Mexico. The book you see in the image is the actual book we have for sale.

James "Jamie" Warren Stott was one of three men lynched in Arizona in 1888 during the Pleasant Valley Feud. Nearly half of this book is composed of actual letters to family members in Massachusetts from Jamie and others about his life and activities in the West. The other half is fictional dialogue in which Mr. Hanchett has taken the liberty of writing as if he were Jamie's sister, Hannah Stott Whitehead.
