Poetry Workshop
Valerie Martinez’s first book of poetry, Absence, Luminescent (Four Way Books, 1999) won the Larry Levis Prize and a Greenwall Grant from the Academy of American Poets. Her second book of poems, World to World, was published by the University of Arizona Press in 2004. Martinez’s translations of the poetry of Uruguay’s Delmira Agustini (1886-1914), A Flock of Scarlet Doves, was published in special edition by Sutton Hoo Press in 2005. Martinez also served as an assistant editor of the anthology, Reinventing the Enemy’s Language: Contemporary Writing by Native Women of North America (Norton 1997).
Santa Fe’s Poet Laureate will examine with you the poetic tradition and help you realize the poet within. Your thoughts, feelings and dreams can all be part of the process.<< Back to Creative Tourism Activities
