In narrative poems that take us back to New Mexico during the
nineteenth century, Renny Golden resurrects the spirits of native
people and of those who came West. To read these poems is to hear
the voices of Padre Martinez and Bishop Lamy, Geronimo and General
Crook, Billy the Kid and Sister Blandina. "Blood Desert is history
that breaks into song, and readers are drawn into a chorus of
voices that have gone unheard--women, indigenous peoples and more.
What marvelous poetry, what powerful stories! Readers will not be
able to put this book down."--Demetria Martinez, author of Mother
Tongue and Confessions of a Berlitz-Tape Chicana. "From the end of
Spanish colonial rule in 1821, to the United States invasion of
1846, to the surrender of Geronimo, these poems provide a lyrical
alternative history that enlightens the reader."--Roxanne
Dunbar-Ortiz, author of Roots of Resistance: A History of Land
Tenure in New Mexico.
