Winner of the Efráin Huerta National Poetry Prize, Desert Memory is a distillation of memories and emotions, images and experiences transformed into poetry. Exploring and evoking the deserts of Chihuahua, where she was born, Jeannette L. Clariond uses a mix of personal and Aztec mythology to recreate and relive her childhood, until memory itself is emptied.
