Item Restricted The other altar: poems(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2024) Gulig, Nicholas, author; The Center for Literary Publishing, Colorado State University, publisherNicholas Gulig's third collection of poetry, The Other Altar, unearths a landscape where the experience of loss is both local and global, personal and political, here and far away. The speaker of these poems wanders in a world illumined at every turn by ghosts whose shape and form he hopes to articulate in a litany of books, one inside the other. Haunting these pages are the specter of a dead father and the racial violence of a specifically American time and place. Against this backdrop of abiding heartache, Gulig turns to those he loves and to whom he feels indebted-his wife and children, his friends, and to the ghosts of other writers, his literary ancestors-trusting that a language rooted beyond the borders of our collective isolation, a poetry formed upon the altar of other people, might guide the self in the direction of a re-enchanted, less solitary experience of creation. The Other Altar is a book that struggles on every page to remind the reader that grief and grace are intertwined, that liberation is a path we walk together, hand in hand and heart to heart, a place we speak into existence when the distance between word and world dissolves.--Provided by publisher.Item Restricted The table: seasons on a Colorado ranch(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2024) Richardson, Lara, author; Western Press Books, publisherWelcome to The Table where stories of family and faith run deep in ranching tradition. Join Colorado rancher and mother of five, Lara Richardson, as she reveals the complexities of modern frontier life in a picturesque Rocky Mountain valley. She shares seasons of growth and loss in her family and community while exploring the stewardship of land, body, and soul. Richardson lays bare the deep moments of injury, mystery, and death while giving readers a glimpse into the daily demands and generous gifts of a livelihood that is becoming scarcer with each passing year. With her hands in the soil and her heart on each page, Richardson offers recipes for your own table while inviting you to sit a while at hers.--Provided by publisher.Item Restricted A face out of clay: poems(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2024) Ameneyro, Brent, author; The Center for Literary Publishing, Colorado State University, publisherThe poems in this manuscript explore identity through several lenses, including ancestry and personal experiences living in both the United States and Mexico. Ameneyro spent several formative years of his childhood living in Puebla, Mexico. His father is from Mexico City and his mother is from Wisconsin-this duality is the impetus for exploring identity in this collection. Because identity is a constantly evolving concept and is often difficult to pinpoint, the poems are sometimes grounded by concrete imagery and narrative, and other times they float off in lyric, subconscious dream scapes. And because identity is also tied to place, both criticism and celebration of the author's two countries appear throughout the collection. In other words, the personal inevitably becomes political.--Provided by publisher.Item Restricted Mountain amnesia: poems(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2023) Thompson, Gale Marie, author; The Center for Literary Publishing, Colorado State University, publisherIn Mountain Amnesia, Thompson's poems rebuild a new world-and self-in the wake of destruction and loss. Influenced by the landscape of rural Appalachia, these poems depict a nature relentlessly working on its own disappearance for survival. Decaying plants and animal remains are housed in the same world as ramps and bellflowers on the cusp of blooming. These poems do not placate or cover up the inevitability of death, but rather use this knowledge to seek connection and make meaning: "how little and yet / how much it matters to count the dead." Mountain Amnesia seeks a path through destruction, using ruin to clear the way for new beginnings; or, as Thompson writes, "the painful, florid bloom of passing forward." This collection is a testament to survival and resilience, and animal encounters - the lonely fox, the folded fawn, the returning whale, the emerging voles - become new myths along the way. Mountain Amnesia also explores the question of how implicated or dependent we are on the lives and actions of others. What does it mean to be accountable to and responsible for those around you? How are we implicated in others' crimes? What can we do in the aftermath? The poems in this collection explore the limits of knowing and seeing, and how we come to be known and seen: "I ask the world for its bandage /of meaning." Mountain Amnesia both pursues and surrenders to these limits of knowing, narrowing the vast distances between ourselves and others.--Provided by publisher.Item Restricted Hawaii's past in a world of Pacific islands(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2013) Bayman, James M., author; Dye, Thomas S., author; Komori, Eric K., cartographer; The SAA Press, publisherItem Restricted All the king's horses: essays on the impact of looting and the illicit antiquities trade on our knowledge of the past(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2012) Lasrus, Paula K., editor; Barker, Alex W., editor; The SAA Press, publisherItem Restricted California's ancient past: from the Pacific to the range of light(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2010) Arnold, Jeanne E., author; Walsh, Michael R., author; The SAA Press, publisherItem Restricted Archaeological narratives of the North American Great Plains: from ancient pasts to historic resettlement(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2021) Trabert, Sarah J., author; Hollenback, Kacy L., author; The SAA Press, publisherStretching from Canada to Texas and the foothills of the Rockies to the Mississippi River, the North American Great Plains have a complex and ancient history. The region has been home to Native peoples for at least 16,000 years. This volume is a synthesis of what is known about the Great Plains from an archaeological perspective, but it also highlights Indigenous knowledge, viewpoints, and concerns for a more holistic understanding of both ancient and more recent pasts. Written for readers unfamiliar with archaeology in the region, the book emphasizes connections between past peoples and contemporary Indigenous nations, highlighting not only the history of the area but also new theoretical understandings that move beyond culture history. This overview illustrates the importance of the Plains in studies of exchange, migration, conflict, and sacred landscapes, as well as contact and colonialism in North America. In addition, the volume includes considerations of federal policies and legislation, as well as Indigenous social movements and protests over the last hundred years so that archaeologists can better situate Indigenous heritage, contemporary Indigenous concerns, and lasting legacies of colonialism today.--Provided by publisher.Item Restricted Hinterlands to cities: the archaeology of northwest Mexico and its vecinos(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2022) Pailes, Matthew C., author; Searcy, Michael T., author; The SAA Press, publisherThis approachable book is a comprehensive synthesis of Northwest Mexico from the US border to the Mesoamerican frontier. Filling a vital gap in the regional literature, it serves as an essential reference not only for those interested in the specific history of this area of Mexico but western North America writ large. A period-by-period review of approximately 14,000 years reveals the dynamic connections that knitted together societies inhabiting the Sea of Cortez coast, the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts, and the Sierra Madre Occidental. Networks of interaction spanned these diverse ecological, topographical, and cultural terrains in the millennia following the demise of the megafauna. The authors provide a fresh perspective that refutes depictions of the Northwest as a simple filter or conduit of happenings to the north or south, and they highlight the role local motivations and dynamics played in facilitating continental-scale processes.--Provided by publisher.Item Restricted Food production in native North America: an archaeological perspective(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2018) Gremillion, Kristen J., author; The SAA Press, publisherItem Restricted Using and curating archaeological collections(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2019) Childs, S. Terry, editor; Warner, Mark S., editor; The SAA Press, publisherAll archaeologists have responsibilities to support the collections they produce, yet budgeting for and managing collections over the length of a project and beyond is not part of most archaeologists' training. While this book highlights major challenges that archaeologists and curators face with regards to collections, it also stresses the values, uses, and benefits of collections. It also demonstrates the continued significance of archaeological collections to the profession, tribes, and the public and provides critical resources to aid archaeologists in carrying out their responsibilities. Many lament that the archaeological record is finite and disappearing. In this context, collections are even more important to preserve for future use, and this book will help all stakeholders do so.--Provided by publisher.Item Restricted Oaxaca: arqueología de una región Mesoamericana(Colorado State University.

Libraries, 2017) Mason, Owen K., author; Friesen, T. Max, author; The SAA Press, publisherItem Restricted Susto: poems(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2023) Archuleta, Tommy, author; The Center for Literary Publishing, Colorado State University, publisherSurreal yet earthbound, orphaned yet mothered more than most, comforting yet disturbing- Tommy Archuleta's Susto surveys many settings: the body, the soul, the terrain the soul encounters upon leaving the body. But the setting is also the high desert landscape that is the poet's northern New Mexico home, a land whose beauty today is as silencing and brutal as was the colonization of the region and her Anasazi descendants by Archuleta's Spanish antipasados. In Susto, loss is everywhere to be found, though this work is not merely a concerted meditation on lament. Rather, it is part unearthed family album; part unlocked diary; part ode to motherhood and her various forms; part manual on preparing for a happy death; and part primer on the ancient art of curanderismo, whereby plants and roots are prepared for treating all manner of ills a mind and body might face.--Provided by publisher.Item Restricted Human is to wander: poems(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2022) Lürssen, Adrian, author; The Center for Literary Publishing, Colorado State University, publisherIf we are always at war, is all poetry then war poetry? Adrian Lürssen's Human Is to wander is a book of dislocation, migration, and witness at a time of war-but whose war, fought where, and at what costs to whom? Born and raised in apartheid-era South Africa, Lürssen migrated to the U.S. as a teen in order to avoid military service at a time when the country's authoritarian regime engaged in a protracted, largely unknown war in Angola. Years later, as a father of young children in his adopted country, echoes of everything his family thought they had left behind has returned: endless bloody conflicts on the horizon; an alarming rise of authoritarianism and nationalistic fervor; pervasive racism, inequality, and daily violence in a country whose mythic promise was once held as freedom, equality, opportunity. In Human Is to wander, Lürssen explores these echoes of his personal history within a landscape that is familiar and unfamiliar all at once. Neither the brutally oppressive South Africa of his childhood nor the precarious United States of today, Lürssen's landscape emerges in the broken rhyme between "troop" and "troupe" where "our captions / are picture less" and "the plan to explain is absolute, but only an entrance." His is an inner landscape as song no longer sung in a mother tongue, in which the human cost of war, climate crisis, and forced migration is "all part of the explanation." Lürssen uses collage, constrained cut-up, Oulipean procedures, abecedarian, and other generative play to allow poems to emerge that respond to the turmoil and dislocation of this violent century, attempting to witness if not understand his-and our-place in it.--Provided by publisher.Item Restricted A community guide to social impact assessment(Colorado State University.
