Reviews
"Like the sweeping turns in the dirt roads of the land she called home, just when you think you're getting the full picture of Ann Alejandro, she surprises you with a new and extraordinary view. Her writing is beautiful, startling, and uniquely frank."-- Elizabeth Crook, author of The Which Way Tree, "How can you not respect a poet whose favorite drink is 'HEB generic diet orange,' who inscrutably lists Tommy Lee Jones along with 'scorpions in my panties' among her greatest fears, and who can declare--from hard experience--that 'No one wants to hear you scream, and so you learn not to.' Wow, what a voice Ann Alejandro had! Thank you, Naomi Shihab Nye and Marion Wink, for making sure we heard it."--Stephen Harrigan, author of The Leopard Is Loose
Synopsis
Struggling for 30 years with chronic illness at her ranch outside Uvalde, Texas, Ann Alejandro was a writer of transporting natural talent and prolificity. Though she would have loved to be widely read and appreciated, she was too modest to scale the walls of the publishing world. Thus her chosen form was the letter and her audience close friends and family, including the poet Naomi Nye and the essayist Marion Winik. For decades, her often lengthy missives continued to delight her correspondents, blending observation, storytelling, humor, praise, and accounts of her deep attachment to the land and animals that surrounded her in the rural Southwest. Before Ann's death in 2019 at the age of 64, Naomi and Marion promised her they would pull together a book from thousands of pages left in their care. They selected the very best of Ann Alejandro, added commentary, and organized the material into chapters with titles like Faith, Motherhood, Land, Snakes, Pain, and Love. I Know About a Thousand Things: The Writings of Ann Alejandro of Uvalde, Texas is an extraordinary collection of writing put together by two longtime literary friends in tribute to a third. It includes an introduction by Nye and and an afterword by Winik, as well as a photo gallery of Ann's life. It will delight and enrich readers for years to come., Ann Alejandro was a prolific writer with breathtaking natural talent. Though she lived for more than thirty years with chronic pain caused by fibromyalgia and other, mostly undiagnosed, illnesses, she wrote thousands of pages of poems, essays, and other creative works, the vast majority of it unpublished until now.
