Northern Mexico’s landscapes sing to my spirit – the mountains and canyons, the desert …
Sitting out on a verandah, watching the light pass across the mountains and the desert. Watching the lizards and roadrunners, the saguaro and nopales from the window of a train, hitching into the depths of Copper Canyon – so many adventures inspiring poems and narratives.
In this latest addition to the Latin America Wanderer eBook Library, I present to you five poems of this breathtaking, spirit-touching region of Mexico. In this collection, we sojourn from the slopes of Nevado de Toluca mountain to San Luis Potosí and northward, observing and listening to the desert (Trickster Songs). In San Fernando, I awaken to a desert dawn (All Night the Rain Fell).
Our final stops are to Copper Canyon (Barrancas de Cobre), one of the largest canyon systems in the world (and said to be five times deeper than the US’ Grand Canyon). In the village of Creel on the rim of the canyon, we stroll to the main plaza where Rarámuri women sell their artesanía (New Born). Then I invite you to hitch with me from there into the tropical depths of the Barrancas de Cobre (Canyon Winds).
And until next month when I place another acquisition into the Library …
Safe Journeys!
