artist and poet jacqueline mallegni moved to new mexico to dedicate herself ​to her art practice​ and to ​manifest the dream of​ ​building her own off-the-grid home studio. ​the high desert of abiquiu, with its​ wilderness and majestic mountain ranges, seemed the perfect place. the poems and​ ​art creations in this beautifully ​crafted volume are a record of​ ​her journey -- perhaps every artist's journey -- towards self-discovery​ ​and a deep ​connection with a sense of place​.
