Mesquites Teach Us to Bend

By Jim Lavilla-Havelin

If Thoreau lived in southern Texas today, these are the poems he would write. Transcendental in scope, steeped in nature and place, and filled with wisdom, these accessible and finely crafted poems explore what we can learn from the natural world around us if only we will listen. However, the poems are still relevant and speak to our social and political climate today.
