Black Mesa PoemsÂ is rooted in the American Southwest, the setting of Jimmy Santiago Baca's highly acclaimed long narrative poem,Â Martin & Meditations on the South ValleyÂ (New Directions, 1987). "Baca's evocation of this landscape," as City PaperÂ noted, "its aridity and fertility, is nothing short of brilliant." The individual poems ofÂ Black MesaÂ are embedded both in the family and in the community life of the barrio, detailing births and deaths, neighbors and seasons, injustices and victories. Loosely interconnected, the poems trace a visionary biography of place.
