LATEST RELEASE
DESERT FLOW
(December, 2022)
What if two people who never met or saw each other or heard each other’s voices experienced a perfect conversation? Creative, inspiring, beautiful, challenging, intimate, passionate and spiritual; a conversation of art and poetry. Caldera’s abstract digital art spoke first. Hart’s poetry answered. There was no personal conversation between the artists. The art flowed from Juarez, Mexico first on Twitter, later by email to the North Shore of Chicago. The poem that the art inspired flowed electronically back to Mexico.
This amazing conversation between Adrián Caldera’s art; and, poetry in English by Charlotte Hart, is translated into Spanish and has become the book, Desert Flow.

FEATURED BOOK
MY DEATH
By Tem Horwitz
It was perfectly clear to me what was happening. I was dying. Yet at the time of my death, there was no fear, no struggling, no desperation, no confusion, and no bewilderment. Yet as I sit here reading my wife’s account of my death I am filled with terror. In the middle of the night, during the Labor Day weekend, I went into anaphylactic shock.
