A Call to Awaken: A Collection of Poems
A Call to Awaken is a heartfelt collection of poems about life, struggle, resilience, and hope. This book offers poems that are both personal and deeply relatable.
Through themes of cultural pride, emotional healing, and a desire to spark meaningful dialogue around navigating systems not built for everyone, A Call to Awaken speaks to anyone who has ever felt unseen or unheard.
Whether you're new to poetry or have loved it for years, this collection invites you to pause, reflect, and awaken your own voice. It’s a reminder that your story matters—and that there is power when we come together to create change. A Call to Awaken is my debut poetry collection.

The Geology, Ecology, and Human History of the San Luis Valley
The Geology, Ecology, and Human History of the San Luis Valley explores the rich landscapes and diverse social histories of the San Luis Valley, an impressive mountain valley spanning over 9,000 square miles that crosses the border of south-central Colorado and north-central New Mexico and includes many cultural traditions. Twenty-six expert scholars and educators—including geologists, geographers, biologists, ecologists, linguists, historians, sociologists, and consultants—uncover the natural and cultural history of the region, which serves as home to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the San Juan Mountains, Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, and the Rio Grande headwaters.
The Geology, Ecology, and Human History of the San Luis Valley will appeal to students and scholars of geology, ecology, environmental history, and cultural history, as well as residents and tourists seeking to know more about this fascinating and integral part of Colorado and New Mexico.
