Memory's Village is a collection of poems that celebrates and contemplates the author's move into a rural traditional village in the mountains of northern New Mexico after spending most of his life in large U.S. cities. As with any of us in the early days of a major relocation, his first impressions are celebratory, accepting, admiring. But after a brief visit of some weeks, he and his wife move in as permanent residents and the more discriminating and critical mind takes over. Filled with humor, praise, at times irritation, the reader gets an inside view of the author's attitudes and judgments as well as the feel of the land, the residents, the life of the every day. Written in the early years of the poet's stay, it is clear that the positive clearly overcame the negatives, since the poet and his wife still live in the village after more than twenty five years.

In 1983, Christine Taylor Patten was hired as one of the people who took care of Georgia O'Keeffe, then ninety-six. Also an artist, Patten served as nurse, cook, companion, and friend to the older woman. This intimate account of the year of Patten's employment offers a rare glimpse of O'Keeffe's daily life when she could no longer see well enough to paint.

Sucursal de Estrella brings together poems written since 1954 in Spanish by Alvaro Cardona Hine. Grouped into seven sections that embrace diverse forms and times, this multi-faceted work offers testimony of a return to his native tongue and the landscape of voices that constitute its memory. The pain of existence, a desperation before a world violated by man and, at the same time, a sense of humor, of the beauty of some past time, the love of creation, of a life shaped by an honesty of word and silence, these inspire, line after line, the texture of these poems.

The majority of the poems translated here appeared in cancioneros between 1511 and 1605. They are the written versions of troubadour and common expression. They are what people were singing! Chants, lullabies, minstrel choruses, and the oral tradition passed from mouth to mind. When this content began to appear in cancioneros it meant the poets and musicians had taken notice and interest and began to use it for their own inspiration.For a long time, criticism had assumed that Spanish lyrical poetry was preponderantly epic. The little flowers in the Songbooks of the Renaissance, shadowed in the crannies of such mountains as the Cantar del Mio Cid had, seemingly, no roots that anyone could discover. Spanish scholars at the beginning of this century have investigated their origins and began to theorize that their roots were Andalusian/Moorish in the zejel's two lined rhymed refrain, but the discovery of even older jarchas showed an even longer influence. Sephardic Jewish scholars have shown that a form call muguasajas, written in classical Arabic (and supposedly invented by the blind 9th century poet Muccáddam ben Muáfa), led the official way. Of course arguments still rail, but it is enough to understand the intense conviviality of Christian, Moorish, and Jewish cultures in Spain before Isabella and Ferdinand.
