about the project
The interviews, writings and art in these books were collected six years ago by antoinette nora claypoole (recent Oregon Literary Arts Award recipient)  while she lived here in Taos (her “second” home).  Local artists/writers opened up their hearts and art for the project and it is finally in print! A grassroots “homegrown” edition published by Wild Embers Press, la puerta, Taos the art of fetching Sky is “a biography of place” and includes...

                                                    stories about old Taos   from an interview with Art Bachrach
Foreword     by Barbara Waters
a previously unathologized    “lost” work by Frank Waters
tribute to the 1960’s  Lisa Law, Iris Keltz, Pheadra Greenwood
photo/art by contemporary locals   Jaap Vanderplas,  Megan Bowers Avina,  Anita Rodriquez,  Gail Russell
Taos  literary map writers   John Nichols,  Robert Mirabal stories/interviews  Barbara Waters, John LeBleu, John Suazo
