A lively exploration of history, memory, and identity within manmade and natural landscapes, A Poetic Inventory of the Sandia Mountains illuminates the Southwestern wilderness through lyric research. Playing with the concept of a "scientific inventory" of a location's biodiversity, this chapbook catalogues the flora and fauna of Albuquerque, New Mexico, its urban wilds and surrounding mountains, river, and mesa.

The truth is out there... and it''s in this collection. Amaris Feland Ketcham uses the technique of found poetry-limiting her word bank to the transcripts of episodes of The X-Files-to craft entirely new and vivid poems. Indebted to the show''s writers for using such interesting and precise words, this collection retains a sense of mystery and inquiry, mirroring and adapting big ideas and issues, and a smattering of references and slang that make them read like a kind of 1990s Homeric.
