In the late 1990s, in the shops of Oaxaca, Jamie Ross discovered a series of extraordinary postcards, fascinating photos of people from indigenous Mexico published by a group of equally mysterious photographers. Entranced, he began writing poems inspired by these images. As he did, suddenly, the people in the photos, themselves began to speak-their own stories in their own voices; voices and stories that would take him on a continuing journey into the heart of Mexico. The result is this book of marvelous, magical, and transportive poems, many joyous, some wildly funny, or tragic, others astonishingly beautiful, all deeply moving-and all presented with the compelling photos that sparked everything.
