Take a right turn, and you’re in Albuquerque, or is it Galveston, or the Colorado Rockies? Go left, and there’s Heathcliff chasing Catherine.

Seeing the Desert Green
Seeing the Desert Green is Sybil Estess' first book of poetry. The refreshing poems contained in this book reveal a rare concern for others.
