{"product_id":"susto-9781885635853","title":"Susto","description":"Surreal yet earthbound, orphaned yet mothered more than most, comforting yet disturbing--Tommy Archuleta's \u003ci\u003eSusto\u003c\/i\u003e surveys many settings: the body, the soul, the terrain the soul encounters upon leaving the body. But the setting is also the high desert landscape that is the poet's northern New Mexico home, a land whose beauty today is as silencing and brutal as was the colonization of the region and her Anasazi descendants by Archuleta's Spanish \u003ci\u003eantipasados\u003c\/i\u003e. In \u003ci\u003eSusto, \u003c\/i\u003eloss is everywhere to be found, though this work is not merely a concerted meditation on lament. Rather, it is part unearthed family album; part unlocked diary; part ode to motherhood and her various forms; part manual on preparing for a happy death; and part primer on the ancient art of c\u003ci\u003euranderismo\u003c\/i\u003e, whereby plants and roots are prepared for treating all manner of ills a mind and body might face. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTommy Archuleta\u003c\/b\u003e is a mental health and substance abuse counselor for the New Mexico Corrections Department.
