Prose Month at SOMOS: Readings by Steve Fox & Anita Rodriguez
Steve Fox is a writer, photographer, journalist and teacher. He’s authored two books of nonfiction and chapters in five books on U.S. mass culture and cultures of the Southwest. He wrote and edited for Horse Fly, the alternative monthly in Taos, and contributed 120 columns to the New Mexico News Service that were carried by newspapers in ten New Mexico towns. Anita Rodriguez is a writer, painter and traditional enjarradora (adobe finisher). She was born in Taos to a family that has lived here for generations. In all of her work she mirrors, preserves, interprets and explores the diversity of her worlds – Mexico and the United States. Coyota in The Kitchen (UNM Press 2016) is about the great and terrible cooks in her improbable family, what happened while they were eating it, and what she did to get some of it.
