During her two-year tenure as Santa Fe's Poet Laureate,
award-winning poet Valerie Martinez appeared at over 50 public
events-in schools, museums, cafes, galleries; in public parks and
local banks and libraries; for children, youth, adults, and
families. While traversing the city, she wrote about it-occasional
poems, meditations, narratives, lyric poems that capture the
present and past of the capital city and its people, all collected
in this volume. The title poem imagines the creation of the land
and its people and unfolds forward to the present. "Blue Winding,
Blue Way" watches the Santa Fe River as it threads through the
city. "History, Apology" tries to grapple with complex issues of
history and race, and "Days Like This" captures the whimsy and
resonance of the annual Pet Parade. There is a poem for everyone in
this book, and those who love Santa Fe (residents and visitors,
alike) will trace the city's streets as they read, find themselves
at familiar street corners and buildings, and navigate the
historical, cultural and social issues that lie at the center of
community life. Drawings by Linda Swanson (whose work is in the
permanent collections of The Brooklyn Museum and The Newark Museum)
accompany the poems and capture the tenderness and beauty of
families. Valerie Martinez is the author of four books of poetry
and one book of translations (selected poems of Uruguay's Delmira
Agustini). Her poems have appeared widely in journals, anthologies
and magazines. She was the Poet Laureate for the City of Santa Fe
from March 2008 - March 2010.
