In The Sea Always Near, Warren's poems float above the mesas of Northern New Mexico while also sinking themselves into the problems, and beauty, of the whole planet-from China and Japan back to Cerro Pedernal in New Mexico then to the red dirt and Osage Hills of Oklahoma.Warren is the astronomer of not only the night sky, but also of the quiet reaches and reflected starlight of the New Mexican landscape. He reminds us we are Star Stuff. But he's also a Paleontologist, with a sharp eye on the bones and ancient splendors of the world.These wonderful poems in which "...grace has turned every corner..." and " t]he whiteness of the page / goes on forever" speak to us in needed ways that so much contemporary poetry does not.-Nathan L. Brown, author of Two Tables Over, winner of the 2009 Oklahoma Book Award for Poetry

"Stewart Warren's writing evokes the mesmerizing landscape in which he lives, the aliveness of its present, the mystery of its past, the seen and the unseen. With unequivocal honesty his words birth stirring and sensuous images, calling for our humanity and deepest compassion. This latest collection of poetry is deeply visceral, stirs the blood, enlivens the skin and provokes the mind..."-Cindy Novelo, Musician and Songwriter

Just One Leaf: poems

Stewart Warren takes on the big themes—the war and peace we carry within us and how these forces play out in our relationships with family, lovers, the earth and the global village. This is a brave book, an unflinching exploration of how we love and fail to love. —Demetria Martinez, Confessions of a Berlitz-Tape Chicana

Atogaki: poems

In this new collection of 91 poems written in the first half of 2011 earth, wind, fire and water are Stewart Warren&rsquo;s muses. Each image has for its ground of being, one of these elements and each one makes his poems sing. Likewise, many of his poems are grounded in a kind of spiritual renaissance: whether or not he&rsquo;s speaking of loss, of blood, of guilt, of love, or trees, rivers and ghosts, in Stewart&rsquo;s hard-earned southwest rhythms, they not only continue to sing, &ldquo;they will just keep circling&rdquo;. There are some beautiful, tough, big-spirited things going on in this book. In his landscapes, the echoes often return, and when they do, there is something to be learned and shared. 
&mdash;John Macker, poet 
Author of Underground Sky and 
Woman of the Disturbed Earth

Follow Hawk: poems for thriving

Here There is Also Burning is Stewart S. Warren’s tenth full-length collection of poetry. Whatever your poetic tastes, core beliefs or temperament, you will not be able to read this book complacently. You will engage it emotionally, intellectually, spiritually or, more likely, in some combination thereof. Here There is Also Burning is a fusion of dearly held and deeply ingrained American character, folklore and myth. Warren doesn’t simply talk about these things: his poetry embodies them. He has listened long and patiently to this land and its people, and his voice is, like Walt Whitman’s and Woody Guthrie’s, a genuine and compelling vernacular whorl, a transformative narration and description of the Southwest that goes cosmic.

Somewhere Beautiful Like Earth

Tzimtzum: 5 contemporary poets lends us their hearts is an anthology of elemental voices, of musings and personal explorations that speak in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th person perspectives concomitant with our emerging self. Speaking in tones that are ancient in wisdom and fresh in narrative, these five writers form the rays of a star that shines within the initiated, within those of us that perceive both our greatness and our smallness and who will not settle for false assumptions.\nFrom San Miguel de Allende, Mexico to St. Paul, Minnesota and from the American Southwest, both rural and urban, each author has contributed a score of poems and included their own introduction, giving the reader an opportunity to befriend the poet and settle into their craft and high art. Included here are the works of aaron a. abeyta, Tani Arness, Richard Broderick, Judyth Hill and Katherine DiBella Seluja. These writers speak unabashedly of love and of death, and in so doing make invitation to experience our tragedies, deceits and glories as veils, stations and gifts along a journey of miraculous unfoldment. They do the work of poets--they reflect the mysterious wonder and unbelievable fortune of being in a body, on a planet, all together--and knowing it.

Written over a period of nearly twenty years and compiled at Stewart Warren’s home at Nido del Cielo in the Piedra Lumbre Basin, The Song of It is a collection of poems and short personal stories that describe the author’s relationship to the land, people and spirits of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado—a region, and way of life, sometimes referred to as Norteño.

In All Love Goes Before Me Stewart Warren invites us to journey with him through the Major Arcana of the Sola Busca Tarot on the symbolic pathways of poetry. Influenced by, but not dependent upon, traditions of Neo-Platonism, Hermeticism, Alchemy, and other mystery schools, Warren allows these images from the 15th century to speak, not only across six centuries of mysticism and philosophic exploration, but from the interior of our soul—a place this poet trusts is accessible to all who enter.The small poems, which accompany the full-color images provided by Osvaldo Menegazzi from Milano, Italy, are offered in the spirit of Tarot that they might resonate within the reader and spawn original and deeper connections to that which we are.

The poetry of this intriguing volume, illumined by the 22 Tarot trumps, is a paean celebrating the 'Holy Marriage' of 'Sacred Complements' at all levels of existence--the union of male and female, of matter and consciousness, of flesh and divinity. —Margaret Starbird, "The Woman with the Alabaster Jar," and "Tarot Trumps and the Holy Grail: Great Secrets of the Middle Ages."
