Right from the beginning, Elise Stuart's collection of poems, Across A Field of Stars, takes you on a journey. You feel the heat of the sand at the water's edge in the New Mexican desert, you see the little side path that brings you to the slow-moving river, you hear the rush of ravens' wings flying above your head. The journey becomes more intimate as Stuart takes you on the path of her own story of loss and transformation, constantly entwined and enlivened by the wind in the trees and the stars shining light against the dark.

Autorenporträt
Elise Stuart has lived in Silver City for nineteen years. Living in the Midwest, then the Northwest, she was taken by surprise at the immensity of the New Mexico sky, the wide blue, the clouds that told her stories, the mountains, the Gila River, the wildflowers that live with so little rain.She became the poet laureate of Grant County in 2014. Her vision was of youth bringing their poetry into the world, so she began offering poetry workshops. She gave nearly 100 workshops at schools in the area for three years. The students made "poem flags" by writing and illustrating one of their original poems. These were displayed in libraries, schools, coffee shops, an assisted living center and at WNMU's art gallery for the Southwest Word Fiesta.In 2017, her first book of poetry, Another Door Calls, was published, followed by My Mother and I, We Talk Cat, a memoir of prose and poetry.
