In these haunted times, I thought I’d share some pictures by my amiga N. from our long ago visit to an exceptionally peaceful and inspiring place: Poet Sir Edward James’ surrealistic sculpture garden in Xilitla, San Luis Potosí, Mexico. I believe that every one of us has an urge to create. To see such strange and beautiful extravagance as this is to see a little bit more into the wonder of what it means to be human.
You can catch the documentary by Avery Danziger, “Edward James: Builder of Dreams” on vimeo.com, and for more information, visit the official website, Jardín Escultórico Edward James.

On another note, delighted to see that in the new issue of Borderzine Frank Hernandez recommends my book, Metaphysical Odyssey into the Mexican Revolution, “a beautiful read into the metaphysical origins of the modern Mexican state,” as one of the Five Books featuring La Frontera to Read During the Pandemic.
