Review
"Timely and yet timeless . . . a calling out to awaken us to our essential connection to earth." -- Melissa Pritchard, author of Spirit Seizures

Product Description
Speaking with the voice of the cicada and the cricket, the raven and the crane, Margo Tamez shows us that the earth is a vibrant network of birth, death, and rebirth--a sacred intertwining from which we as humans have become disconnected. Through images that remind us of Nature's beauty and fragility, reflections on childbirth and children, and warnings of environmental abuse, she brings to her poetry the insight of someone who has experienced firsthand what happens when our land and water are compromised.

5.0 out of 5 stars Margo Tamez stuns the reader with Naked Wanting, June 16, 2007

By	Lisa Alvarado (Chicago) - See all my reviews

If you're looking for spun sugar literary confection, and easy comfort, move on. But if you want to encounter
poetry that disturbs you in the best possible way, keeps you up at night, demands that you respond with your
heart and your mind, read both Naked Wanting and Raven Eye.

Margo Tamez is a poet whose work is not easy, clearly born of experience raw and real, making the reader touch that place of pain, of personal wounding far, far, away from the romance of the Southwest and the stereotype of the "stoic noble" on the rez. Her writing forces us to look where the bodies are buried, when we want to turn a blind eye to the violence wreaked upon the individual and environment. Both Naked Wanting and Raven Eye gave me that gnawing feeling in the pit of my stomach, the tight, clenched first buried in the chest. Bless her for that.

And bless her, too, for somehow still weaving threads of redemption and reemergence in the face of soulbreaking sorrow, for offering real mythos and confronting false spirituality.

In My Mother Returns to Calaboz, there is a visceral longing for home, for groundedness in the deepest and most literal sense. It reflects an abiding love for la tierra, but not the convenient, fantasy-laden Southwest. It is a personal, damaged homeland, smelling of chemicals, shot through with run-off that is still somehow, unquestionably sacred. Tamez writes of border dwellers unbowed, unabsorbed, defiant, and ultimately triumphant - not noble, but stubbornly flawed and human.

Lisa Alvarado, poet, editor, literary critic
