Dreaming the End of War
This gripping suite of twelve dreams, infused with the conflict along the border of Mexico and the United States, traces humanity鈥檚 addiction to violence and killing鈥攆rom boys stepping on ants to men shooting animals, men shooting women, men shooting enemies.
The Dreams begin in a desert landscape where poverty and wealth grate against each other, and the ever present war becomes 鈥渁s invisible as the desert sands we trample on.鈥� The dreams, however, move toward a greater peace with S谩enz providing an unforgettable reading experience.
