<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cc6600; font-family: verdana; font-size: 78%;">A tribute to Northern New Mexico’s artists and literary landscape, this first volume of la Puerta, Taos is a trek into the labyrinth of Taos, an old American “artist colony”. The collection ranges from rares stories about the Tiwa (“Taos Pueblo People”) by sculptor/activist John Suazo, Tiwa to a John Nichols anti-war speech “Art Against Empire” by way of “spanglish” from Taos Poetry circus extraordinaire, Amalio Madueño.<br />

<br />
Synergy between art/written word is the signature of Vol. 1 and is created via images from CA/T (Contemporary Art/Taos-from the Harwood Museum 80th celebration) --including poignant photos by Megan Bowers from her “Saints and Angels” series--and timeless landscape photo/art by renowned Taoseño, Gail Russell. These are fused with poems and snippets of written/oral lore from writers of the region—a Grandpa story from Robert Mirabal and Frank Water’s tribute by his biographer John Nizalowski. Overall this volume-- including sections which explore Land: “the mountain”, how artists arrived in Taos: “paseo” and an opening to other worlds, how to survive these times: “la puerta” – is best described by Barbara Waters in her Foreword to the book: </span> <span style="color: #cc6600; font-family: verdana; font-size: 78%;">“Readers of this vibrant collection will feel reassured that the creative spirit of Taos is alive and well, even in these troubled times.
