Judith Literary Press announces Volume 1 of Many the Roads, the Breeze and Wave, by Timothy Wesley.
". . . fill and fold a sidewalk—wait and listen—turn time
to scope and conscience—decentering all of these
moral consciences that are better to build 
in the fictional process—others can make the rules;
and, here you might decant beyond, this salty harbor, 
this turn of the self . . .
How do you move so swiftly in white dandelions."

"And in that stillness, suddenly, a revealing light returns—the one that reminds you that you are alive, that you exist, that what lies before your eyes is real and tangible; that you can admire it, talk about it with your companions, and, above all, create from what you have seen . . . And there, in a small albergue in some lost village in the north of Spain, was the first time I saw my friend Tim—filtering reality through his pencil, living his own path, his own truth, leaving his testimony on paper, writing some of the pages that make up this book you are about to begin.”  
-    From the Introduction by Javier DeMarta

Judith Literary Press announces Mysteries of Love, the debut full-length poetry collection from award-winning Ashaani Taneja.
“ . . . In the howling hour of night,
on the silvery path,
I climbed out of the grave of myself
with white dramatic wings . . .”

Judith Literary Press announces Lágrimas, a new collection of poems by Nasario Garcia and winner of the 2021 New Mexico/Arizona Book Awards Bilingual Adult Book category. 

"These poems ring out with the truth of the world and the reality of the human heart.   One of New Mexico's greatest poets, Nasario García speaks to the interior life of those who are honored to be New Mexicans, who are fascinated by life and its irony, and those who feel blessed by our homes, our families, and the gifts of friendship."
 — V.B. Price
 
"Lágrimas: Poems of Joy and Sorrow delivers a rare, first-hand glimpse of village life in the Rio Puerco Valley. Though the New Mexico village was abandoned more than a half century ago, these poems, told in the enchanted voice of a child, feel wide-eyed and close at hand. In these wholehearted poems, joy gets the better of sorrow."
—Anne Valley-Fox
 
Read Ghosts of the Río Puerco in New Mexico Magazine to learn more about Nasario and where he is writing from.
