The poems in I Sleep Between the Moons of New Mexico are as condensed and glittering as the facets of a diamond. With a powerful economy of language, the poems speak of healing, anti-war sentiment, nature, the human experience, and other large themes. This is imagistic poetry that combines the metaphorical and emotional complexity of Emily Dickinson with the intense visual language of an H.D. or Amy Lowell. Davis's skill as a pastel artist has transcended into words that explore an interior New Mexico landscape as spare, extravagant, and unique as a Steller's Jay flashing blue wings against the backdrop of soaring red cliffs.
