Nostalgias of November / Nostalgias de Noviembre: Poems / Poemas

Set in the borderlands, Nostalgias of November, Arturo Magaña Amaya's first collection of bilingual poems, is a bridge from the struggle of our labor to the serenity of our memory, from the voices of our ancestors to the songs of the barrio, a migration from the desolation of deserts to the fertile fields of our eternal hope. Basado en la frontera, Nostalgias de Noviembre, el primer poemario bilingüe de Arturo Magaña Amaya, es un puente entre la lucha de nuestro trabajo y la serenidad de nuestra memoria, entre las voces de nuestros antepasados y las canciones del barrio, una migración de la desolación de los desiertos a los campos de nuestra esperanza eterna.

A Long Tangent: Musings by an old man & his young dog hiking every day for a year

WHEN M. JOHN FAYHEE first arrived in New Mexico's rugged Gila Country, he was a naive 20-year-old who didn't know a javelina from an enchilada. Much has changed in the intervening half century.\nIn this meandering memoir, Fayhee, with his loyal dog Casey at his side, takes us through the heart of the Gila - once the stomping ground of Geronimo and Billy the Kid and home to the world's first legally designated Wilderness Area - as he endeavors to hike every day for a solid year through some of the country's most remote and challenging terrain. "A Long Tangent" explores the process of going from wide-eyed young man to 
crotchety old fart as he comes to terms with his mortality, with the fact that "There are many more trail miles behind me than there are ahead."\nMore than that, though. This is the story of the bond between a man and his canine companion as it evolves through deep canyons, across bone-dry mesas in ninety-five degree heat and toward the cactus-covered mountains that rise above the desert lands of southwest New Mexico.\nAlong the way, Fayhee reflects upon rattlesnakes, hiking sticks, bears, exploding rocks, mystery mountains, disorientation, poorly worded religious texts, lost pets, marriage, the relationship between hikers and their vehicles, and a past that slips ever further into the rearview mirror.
