House of Cards: The Whole Deck by Denise Weaver Ross
2020 NM/AZ Book Awards Finalist!
The Whole Deck combines the previously published books corresponding to the four suits from the House of Cards series of art and poetry books by Denise Weaver Ross in which she reimagines a deck of cards. The Heart Suit combines heart cards with Egyptian imagery and the swords from the Tarot; the Tree Suit transforms clubs into trees, both natural and symbolic; the Star Suit turns diamonds into stars, constellation and other celestial phenomenon; and the Bone Suit replaces spades with an excavation of bones and fossils. Signed by the author.

Jumpin’ Juniper
by Denise Weaver Ross
In the high desert mountains,/ autumn winds gust down canyons, / black bear and coyotes, jumped up on juniper berries, / romp along the tree line while robins and waxwings, winter plump, / pause as Townsend’s solitaire sings sweet and clear in the chilling air.
