‘Eleven Stories of Water and Stone,' Prairie Schooner, Spring 2015 (Winner of the 2014 Prairie Schooner Essay Prize)

"This essay is best described in the author’s own phrase: “trying to hold water in a fist.” Each of the sections is a powerfully focused revelation of how the most basic of elements, the basis of survival—water—determines the life in an Indian community. But it is not mere social history; it is also about how individual lives and relationships are affected by either the presence of water or its scarcity. It is a poem and a history lesson."--Judith Ortiz Cofer.
