Postcards from Mexico

<p>In the late 1990s in the shops of Oaxaca Jamie Ross discovered a series of extraordinary postcards fascinating photos of people from indigenous Mexico published by a group of equally mysterious photographers. Entranced he began writing poems inspired by these images. As he did suddenly the people in the photos themselves began to speak-their own stories in their own voices; voices and stories that would take him on a continuing journey into the heart of Mexico. The result is this book of marvelous magical and transportive poems many joyous some wildly funny or tragic others astonishingly beautiful all deeply moving-and all presented with the compelling photos that sparked everything.</p>
