Along the River 2: More Voices from the Rio Grande David Bowles

Thirty-nine voices mingle like the currents of our river, flowing into deep narrative resacas and rushing from lyrical reservoirs. Just as the Río Grande wends its way through basins, bosques, deserts, fields?so these poems, stories and essays explore the variegated quiltwork of border culture, streaming somberly through the darkness and coruscating in the light. Contributors include Robert Paul Moreira, Rob Johnson, Rachel Vela, Katherine Hoerth, José Hernández, Erika Garza, Edward Vidaurre, Christopher Carmona, Alejandro Fernández Cabada and Alan Oak, among many others.
