About this ebook
The watercolor sketches and poetic meditations in Postcards from the Border document the sometimes poignant, sometimes joyful, always profound encounters with the land and its inhabitants that author and artist Nancy Arbuthnot experienced on her recent visit to the U.S.-Mexico border. With striking verbal and visual images, she carries readers on a riveting journey to the border and across, and finally back again.
