Publisher's Synopsis
In her new poems, the author continues to widen her search to see the beauty in the world around her, tiny trout lilies beside a creek, a slender palo blanco in her sister's garden, or in the sky as she tries to name its color. But even as she sees beauty, she struggles to understand the world's brokenness: mistreatment of native peoples, the murder of Jesuit priests in El Salvador, war and terror across the globe. She writes from the solitude of the desert while her heart and mind travel in the world of ideas.
