In The Sea Always Near, Warren's poems float above the mesas of Northern New Mexico while also sinking themselves into the problems, and beauty, of the whole planet-from China and Japan back to Cerro Pedernal in New Mexico then to the red dirt and Osage Hills of Oklahoma. Warren is the astronomer of not only the night sky, but also of the quiet reaches and reflected starlight of the New Mexican landscape. He reminds us we are Star Stuff. But he's also a Paleontologist, with a sharp eye on the bones and ancient splendors of the world. These wonderful poems in which ..".grace has turned every...

"Stewart Warren's writing evokes the mesmerizing landscape in which he lives, the aliveness of its present, the mystery of its past, the seen and the unseen. With unequivocal honesty his words birth stirring and sensuous images, calling for our humanity and deepest compassion.

Stewart Warren takes on the big themes-the war and peace we carry within us and how these forces play out in our relationships with family, lovers, the earth and the global village. This is a brave book, an unflinching exploration of how we love and fail to love. -Demetria Martinez, Confessions of a Berlitz-Tape Chicana

In Silence I Speak takes the reader on a journey of transformation. First into the depth of psychiatric illness that is often misunderstood, then through systems that intend to give good care but fall short, and finally to health restored and a life of recovery found beyond the identity and label of a psychiatric disability.

Second Light, Stewart Warren's third collection of poetry, continues with the exploration of a life dedicated to what some call a spiritual journey or a personal evolution, but his sometimes raw and even irreverent descriptions of this passage blow the doors on pop psyche and high-minded spiritualism. This work is accessible, lyric, and filled with imagery that allows us to rediscover the land upon which we walk and the life inside the lives in which we believe we live. Whether flirting with time and space or beseeching the Creator to acknowledge how bravely we live this life, Stewart Warren...

Warren's poetry resonates with philosophic and mystic disciplines, but maintains a colloquial tone that is honest and accessible.

From the Santuario de Chimayo to the banks of the Chaco River, Stewart describes the beauty and depth of the natural world, both human and non human. Some of the poems in this collection are histories, both personal and universal, some are maps to the less discovered landscapes of the soul. And while the author daringly, believingly examines the dark side, he leaves the reader with a sense of hope and overall correctness about the world.

Written over a period of nearly twenty years and compiled at Stewart Warren's home at Nido del Cielo in the Piedra Lumbre Basin, The Song of It is a collection of poems and short personal stories that describe the author's relationship to the land, people and spirits of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado-a region, and way of life, sometimes referred to as Norteno.

In this new collection of 92 poems written in the first half of 2011] earth, wind, fire and water are Stewart Warren's muses. Each image has for its ground of being, one of these elements and each one makes his poems sing. Likewise, many of his poems are grounded in a kind of spiritual renaissance: whether or not he's speaking of loss, of blood, of guilt, of love, or trees, rivers and ghosts, in Stewart's hard-earned southwest rhythms, they not only continue to sing, "they will just keep circling." There are some beautiful, tough, big-spirited things going on in this book. In his landscapes,...
