Lucy Griffith’s work grows out of a passionate love for our southern borderlands, and for their harsh and harshly beautiful landscape. In her award-winning debut We make a Tiny Herd, her poems are a poignant lovesong to west Texas, and to the power of ‘a woman alone’—be it the nearly mythic figure of ‘The Burro Lady,’ or Griffith herself, calling across the desert to ‘La Reina.’

Her latest collection The Place the Spiders Waved is a memoir in verse, a celebration of the brush country, a testament to how these spaces can shape a life.

Darlene Marwitz works in mixed media to combine textiles and acrylics. Her studio techniques vary and are layered, from sketching to block printing to stitching and collage. She finds inspiration in the mountains and open expanses of the high desert plateau that surrounds her home in Marfa.
