The chapbook combines 25 poems with 25 images from the southwestern United States -- Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico. Each time you enter the collection by selecting a poem or an image, a randomly selected image will be associated with a poem (both a text and an audio recording). The pages were designed on a mac with a 1440x900 display, so things will look a little different at lower resolutions and on smaller screens -- but the effect should be satisfactory. The audio files are mp3s. If you encounter any problems, please send me an email with specific information and I'll try to make adjustments: steven_schroeder at earthlink dot net.
