“The palpable sense of mystery in the desert air breeds fables, chiefly of lost treasure.” Mary Austen

The desert is an archetypal landscape, the traditional geography of revelations. In celebration of national poetry month and the desert, these poets read some of their work about the lessons and gifts they have received from the Mojave. Includes a brief telling of the Hopi myth of the creation of the fourth world.

This is part 2 of 2 programs recorded at an open mic hosted by Catherine Svehla at the Beatnik Lounge in Joshua Tree, CA.

Featuring original work read by: Cynthia Anderson, Noreen Lawlor, Mark Evans, Greg Gilbert, and Lisa Mednick-Powell. Thank you poets!
