That’s so neat that you knew exactly what I was talking about!! It was entirely new to me, and glorious. And OMG that bird is unnecessarily bloodthirsty in a kind of beautiful way?
Prior to learning more about the landscape, flora and fauna through reading your newsletter, my only knowledge of Joshua Tree was the macabre Gram Parsons connection.
It's a pleasure to have connected with you and your work through Poetry As a Spiritual Practice.
Thanks so much, that’s so kind of you! And that’s so sad about Gram Parsons -- I didn’t realize. I am working on a longer post (seriously, y’all are going to be so tired of the desert by the time I’m done) on the American mix of mysticism and science and exploration that happens in the desert. Really looking forward to hearing your work in the class.
As soon as you said "desert rain" I thought, "Mmmmm, creosote.... "
I saw a Butcher Bird the other day myself!

Ooh I love roadrunners so much!
Me too! Beep beep!
Hi Hannah,
This is really beautiful.

What a lovely tour. I hope to take it sometime!
I hope you do too, and tell me what you think!
