The Nature of Things
The Nature of Things is a collaboration between author Odilia Galván Rodríguez and photographer Richard Loya. The first edition was published by Merced College Press, Merced, CA 2015. Galván Rodríguez's ekphrastic poems are a response to Loya's nature photography. There is a lot to ponder here, in a world where the earth's species are disappearing at an alarming rate. Galván Rodriguez and Loya's richly braided images and words are a tribute to all that lives and, at the same time, are a wake-up call that what we take for granted in the natural world may not be there very soon. This engaging book is bilingual, English, and Spanish; the translations are another team effort between Odilia and the late great poet-professor, Francisco X. Alarcón.

The Color of Light
What this book is and is not. This is a collection of poetry dedicated to some of the principal energies of the Mexica and Orishas - two nature-based spiritual/cultural traditions, and ways of life. These indigenous energies are still quite alive and well in Africa, Mexico, in the diaspora, and the world. They are everywhere, depicted in all kinds of indigenous art, music, dance, in architecture, in weavings, in clothing, in the vast wares available in the markets, in museums etc. The energies themselves function as conduits, divine messengers, helpers, and wisdom keepers. In both of these spiritual traditions, there is but one supreme Creatrix-God, and these energies play an important role ...

Snake Poems
For beloved writer and mentor Francisco X. Alarcón, the collection Snake Poems: An Aztec Invocation was a poetic quest to reclaim a birthright. Originally published in 1992, the book propelled Alarcón to the forefront of contemporary Chicano letters. Alarcón was a stalwart student, researcher, and specialist on the lost teachings of his Indigenous ancestors. He first found their wisdom in the words of his Mexica (Aztec) grandmother and then by culling through historical texts. During a Fulbright fellowship to Mexico, Alarcón uncovered the writings of zealously religious Mexican priest Hernando Ruiz de Alarcón (1587–1646), who collected (often using extreme measures), translated, and i...
