Dear Red Rock,

About last night— what a gorgeous event “The Nature of Poetry Night” was!

Getting to share my award-winning poem “Dear Nevada” in the setting that inspired one of its lines was a full circle moment. I’m honored to have shared the mic with such a talented lineup of nature inspired poets. Leaving the amphitheatre via the Red Rock Canyon Scenic Drive was the perfect ending to a sublime evening.

Gigi Guizado, “Dear Nevada”

“Dear Nevada” can be viewed in Nevada Humanities’ Nevada, P.S. I Love You Postcard Project exhibition and in my poetry chapbook, HOURGLASS. Signed copies are available in Las Vegas at Mad Red Books.

Thanks to Ashton Melendez, Sidney Blackmere and Red Rock National Conservation Area for organizing! Thanks to JM Huck and Rachel De Vera for the images and camaraderie.
