AT BOOKWORKS IN ALBUQUERQUE

New Mexico poet Sarah Kotchian reads from her new book of poems “Light of Wings” at 6 p.m. Sunday, March 10, at Bookworks.

Kotchian is described as a writer and artist whose creativity is drawn from the solitude and beauty she finds in her walks in New Mexico’s foothills and mountains.

The volume is part of the University of New Mexico Press’ Mary Burritt Christiansen Poetry Series. Kotchian’s pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago in Spain was the basis for her book “Camino.” She was also a contributor to the 2019 Bread Loaf Writer’s Conference and was a nominee for a Pushcart Prize.
