In this new BILINGUAL photo and poetry book, MATA ORTIZ POETRY OF THE CLAY Pottery, Poems, Artists. and the bilingual Spanish title, MATA ORTIZ POESIA DEL BARRO Ceramica. Poemas. Artististas., Samuelson features the stellar pottery of 24 Contemporary Mata Ortiz potters paired with original poetry by her. She also include some poetry and thoughts and dreams of the artists.

This book has been hailed as unique and one-of-a-kind, with a presentation of the author writing poetry about the pottery and the potters. "I often feel very moved," the author says, "by art that soars above the rest, as does the brilliant Mata Ortiz pottery, I wanted to honor their work with original poetry."

Samuelson has gone beyond what would be a normal book about pottery by offering bilingual passages throughout the book. "So many books printed in America cannot be read by people in Mexico, so I wanted people on both sides of our American Southwest "Borderlands" to be able to enjoy this stunning book of photography and poetry," Samuelson said.
