PREDATOR. EVER” TRUE STORY PREFERRED ...I just watched the film [Prey]. It pretty much built a narrative totally different than the well-documented history of the Comanches. The film is set in 1719. By 1719 the Comanches had driven the Lippan Apaches off the Great Plains and into Mexico and the mountains of southern New Mexico. Not bad for a group that prior to the arrival of the Spanish and hors es, were a very unimpressive sub-band of the Shoshone in the Front Range of Colorado and Wyoming. In the aftermath of the Pueblo Revolt, they acquired enough horses and the skills to ride them well enough to become true Lords of the Plains. More than a few scholars assert that between the early 1700s and the postUS Civil War they called the economic shots between Kansas on the North, Mexico City on the South, Houston on the East, and the Rio Grande on the West. They dictated the rules to the Spanish, Mexicans, French, Americans and every tribe they encountered. Had Governor DeAnza not won a victory near today’s Pueblo, Co., in which their leader, Cuerno Verde, was killed, the Spanish settlements the length of New Mexico might well have collapsed. In the aftermath, a treaty was negotiated which pretty much kept large raids from happening until the arrival of Kearny and the Americans that took the position they were going to push all Native Americans onto reservations... This film was entertaining and should be praised for using the Comanche language and other authentic material, but being this off base in the telling of a franchise film might be more damaging than John Ford casting Jeffery Chandler as the Comanche Chief in The Searchers, or countless other disrespectful movies and TV shows. It is especially gall ing because the true story of the Comanches, and their leaders such as Cuerno Verde and Quanna Parker would make a much more com pelling film...I am very happy that many Native American filmmakers are emerging, and that many of them live in and around Santa Fe. To my way of thinking, Reservation Dogs is one of the best television shows to come down the pike in years, and I would really love to see the folks involved in it move on to maybe tell the true story of the Comanches.

“You’re trying to accommodate a whole range of needs and requirements that don’t naturally fit together.”

“I think there is a real opportunity for a model around community-based design and public support of projects, particu larly land donation, which I think is really important for what the city is hoping to do with the Midtown campus,” Werwath says. But for residents, his experiment is their home and their livelihood.

“We are currently working with our contractor to complete the drainage sys tem as designed and specified by our archi tects and engineers,” reads an email sent to residents on Aug. 12 by New Mexico Inter-Faith Housing Corp., the nonprofit that owns Siler Yard. That’s just the most recent in a se ries of hurdles. From a rocky beginning, residents have reported extreme noise, problems with management, mold and structural problems. Siler Yard hasn’t gone the way Daniel Werwath—executive director of InterFaith Housing and prime mover of Siler Yard—hoped, either. The complexity of balancing cost, quality, tenants’ wishes and a many-layered management mod el has led to something “very different from what I envisioned trying to create,” Werwath says. “It’s actually very deeply disappointing.”Wilder,Santa Fe Poet Laureate Darryl Lorenzo Wellington (an SFR contribu tor), performer Stephen Jules Rubin and others all cite the noise among their chief concerns.When SFR meets with residents the week of the flooding, we sit at a slanting, rickety“Thistable.table is like our building,” Wilder says with a rueful laugh. Werwath says the buildings were designed to exceed sound insulation requirements. He points to various bells and whistles: VCT flooring, gypcrete on the second floor, sound matting and regular insulation.

“Whatever’s transferring through is contact noise, but it has nothing to do with how the project was designed or con structed,” Werwath tells SFR. His solution was to buy area rugs for the second-floor units and “encourage people to talk to their neighbors if they’re being“Thenoisy.”irony of this is that [Siler Yard] is in the middle of an industrial district where we’ve been warning people about noise from the outset,” he says. But for some residents, the noise level goes beyond anything they’ve experienced or expected.“They had 10 years to plan this out, to think about what an artist needs,” Wellington says. “But it doesn’t even meet the require ments of people, let alone artists.”

Siler Yards experiment in affordable housing for artists cost,challengeshighlightsinbalancingquality

Werwath started working on the idea for Siler Yard in 2004. Since then, it’s hit snag after snag—the 2009 economic collapse, the Trump election (which “really messed up affordable housing,” Werwath says) and the COVID-19 pandemic.

P hotographer Holly Wilder was overjoyed when she was approved for a first-floor apartment in Siler Yard Arts + Creativity Center, but the high dropped quickly to a deep low. She and other neighbors have noticed a litany of problems with moisture and noise, and when they’ve gone to management, noth ing’sDevelopershappened.conceived Siler Yard as an affordable, net-zero-energy, multi-fam ily-unit project for artists and creators who make less than 60% of the Area Mean Income (just under $34,000 as of this year).

“It’s sort of a miracle that this project hap pened,” he Constructionsays.

“The only thing this is a model of is how not to build an artists’ compound,” Wilder says.

US Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-NM, has lauded the development and recently toured Siler Yard, which won an “Innovation Award” at the American Institute of Architects Santa Fe 2019 Design Awards. It’s been held up as a mod el for an affordable, live-work commu nity—but some residents tell a different story, and it isn’t quite what the commu nity’s creator envisioned. The fits and starts marking Siler Yard’s early days spotlight the wobbly balance between providing a reasonably-priced place to live in a city beset by soaring housing costs and the difficulty in ensur ing high-quality living conditions.

The City of Santa Fe chipped in about $2.2 million in permit and fee waivers, a grant and the 4.3 acres of land upon which Siler Yard was built. New Mexico Inter-Faith Housing re ceived a $650,000 Affordable Housing Program subsidy from Century Bank and FHLBWerwath’sDallas. woes didn’t stop at construction.Sinceitsinception, the property has gone through three different management companies. The current one—40i Property Management—has been there since June. Werwath says Inter-Faith hired a couple of employees from Monarch Properties, Inc., the former management company, to “createNewcontinuity.”Mexico’sfirst nonprofit property management company, 40i, aligns with Inter-Faith’s values, Werwath says.

Alexandra Ladd, the city’s affordable housing director, acknowledges the mod el’s complexity, but says it’s necessary to meet tenants’ needs.

For Werwath, Siler Yard is a lesson.

BalanceinHousingthe Monsoon rains flooded Siler Yard parking lots the week of Aug. 8.

But he admits management has been a challenge, and that neither of the previ ous management companies was up to the task.“It’s been a huge issue,” he says, citing the project’s complexity as a stumbling block—balancing preferences for artists and New Mexico residents with three dif ferent income levels and three different unit types made the model unwieldy.

“I think that’s the hard piece,” she says.

The week of Aug. 8, monsoon rains flooded the property’s parking lots, run ning off from Siler Road and the Acequia Madre, causing sections of asphalt toward the back of the site to buckle. The area is now under construction.

costs increased by more than $1 million within a few months, Werwath says—more than a 10% increase in total costs. And now, with the parking lot cave-in, the project still isn’t closed out of construction and continues to incur late fees and interest to the tune of roughly $40,000 perThemonth.65-unit, $18.8 million project was funded by a roughly $9.4 million compet itive low-income housing tax credit and a $5.4 million, 40-year, Section 221(d)(4) mortgage—both US Department of Housing and Urban Development programs.

“For us, it was about trying to find a manager that shared our nonprofit mis sion and would be able to give the level of service and responsiveness to our res idents that we felt they deserved,” he says.

WILDERHOLLY

Michaels says he’s happy to work, despite what people who yell at him as he panhan dles on Cerrillos Road may think. While in the Navy in 1967, he worked on a depot ship for submarines before spending another five years in the Navy Reserve. He’s also been a truck driver, framing contractor, retail man ager, restaurant manager, gym owner, cine matographer and more. As a musician, he’s produced 23 albums available on various streaming platforms. His true passion, though, is writing. He has self-published two books: The Cosmological Society: Foundations of a Cosmic Vision of Life, and Take This Job and Shove It!! The latter tells the story of a US president who decides to tell the “dirty, inconvenient truth” about American corruption.

Rent is covered for the first several months. Once veterans are more financial ly stable, Goodwill pays 50% of the rent for up to two years. It’s a housing-first program, meaning participants are not required to find employment.Russomtells SFR while the organization encourages people to find work, each case is different.“Forsome veterans, that means obtaining employment,” she says. “For others, it means applying for permanent supportive housing or applying for appropriate benefits.”

The floor of a friend’s workshop was his next stop. Then, in October of 2018, he went to the Interfaith Shelter at Pete’s Place, but after seven months, three stolen backpacks and three fights, he’d had enough. He decided he’d never stay in a shelter again. For the next year and a half, he slept outside.“It’shard to sleep outside for one main reason: You’ve got to sleep with one eye open, because you don’t know who is going to come and try to knock you in the head and rob you,” he says.In2020, when local shelters were re quired to limit the number of people due to the pandemic, Michaels secured a room at the GreenTree Inn. After three people were killed there last year, the owner reportedly decided to stop renting rooms to shelters. By July of 2021, Michaels was back on the streets, where he would stay until last December. That’s when he was admitted to the hospital after developing a callus on his foot. Doctors told him he had sepsis and ampu tated his big toe and part of his foot, requir ing a month of physical therapy. In March, he tested positive for COVID-19, placing him back in the Michaelshospital.returned to the floor of his friend’s workshop after that, until help came his way via Goodwill’s housing assistance program.Funded through a grant from the US Department of Veterans Affairs, the hous ing program is available across the state. Veterans can visit any Goodwill store, where a case worker will help them recover identifi cation and military records needed to qualify.

Robert Beau Michaels writes in a notebook while sitting in his new apartment in Santa Fe.

Michaels says his stints without a job were a choice, leaving him space to focus on doing what he “Whenloves.life plants this energy, this pas sion, this fire, this creative drive inside of you, you have to go with it, or you’ll go out of your mind,” he says. A sleeping bag, lawn chair and suitcase are all that occupy Michaels’ new apartment, but he’s found respite from the years of tur moil. He’s working to earn money for some furniture, a laptop to continue his writing and about $400 to publish his latest nov el, Somewhere Between Light and Darkness: Conversation with the Devil.

CRAWFORDGRANT SFREPORTER.COM • AUGUST 24-30, 2022 NEWS#SFREPORTER.COM/ NEWS Home for Now Santa Fe creative spends years homeless, finds assistance through Goodwill program BY GRANT grant@sfreporter.comCRAWFORD I t’s hard to sleep outside for one main reason: You’ve got to sleep with one eye open, because you don’t know who is going to come and try to knock you in the head and rob you .

R obert Beau Michaels thought he knew himself until he became home less. More than four years spent in and out of Santa Fe shelters, sleeping outside or crashing on the floor of a friend’s wood shop changed the 74-year-old musician, writ er and Navy veteran, he tells SFR. Thanks to assistance through a local housing program, Michaels recently put a roof over his head, but it’s come with the toll living without a home takes. He’s one of 31 veterans in Santa Fe County this year to find a home through Goodwill Industries of New Mexico’s Support Services for Veteran Families program. The program is one piece in a mosaic of government- and privately-run efforts to pro vide Santa Feans shelter. City officials are ex ploring avenues to get emergency, temporary or permanent housing to unsheltered peo ple. Community outreach workers estimate about 150 people live on the streets. Cityapproved camps, where homeless people would have quicker access to social services, portable toilets and trash pickups, are among the city’s considerations.

SFREPORTER.COM • AUGUST 24-30, 2022 9

Now, Michaels is one fewer person experi encingPamhomelessness.Russom,marketing director for Goodwill’s Senior Leadership Team, tells SFR that as much as the nonprofit tries to share information about its housing services, the program still comes as a surprise to people.

“A lot of times we can place homeless vet erans within a matter of hours or days of con tacting us into permanent housing, which is really huge,” Russom says. Prior to this month, it had been a harsh few years for Michaels. In 2018, he returned to Santa Fe after 11 years of teaching English in Prague. When he last lived here in 2007, a realtor had found him a home that charged $400 in monthly rent. When Michaels got back to the states, though, he was “astonished by how much rent had gone up,” he tells SFR. “I didn’t save enough money to come back,” Michaels says. “Within 10 days I was out of money, I had no job, and I didn’t have anywhere to go.” For four months Michaels stayed at the St. Elizabeth Men’s Emergency Shelter. He sent out job résumés and landed an interview at a resale store. But he says his liberal arts degree from the University of Georgia and master’s degree from the University of St. Thomas in Houston make him seem “overqualified.”

“Everyone should be homeless for a little while, because homelessness introduced me to myself,” he tells SFR. “I believe life put me there for that reason, to help me in my career as a writer and to open up my mind. I realized I was judgmental as hell before that, overly critical, selfish and an asshole. I have a shadow a mile long and I embrace ev ery fucking inch of it. I’m not going back; I’m goingTheup.”City of Santa Fe will host a roundtable town hall meeting on homeless encampments from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm, Tuesday, Aug. 30. Wednesday, Aug. 24, is the last day to register for the meeting. To register, email amares@santafenm.gov or call (505) 955-6520.

FICTION  The Cherry Robbers

As you delve into the first chapter of The Cherry Robbers, you may begin to experi ence a curious sense of déjà vu. The nar rator, who calls herself Sylvia Wren, is a famously reclusive artist—a painter, in fact, and one who loves to paint flowers (or are they vulvas?) A painter who lives in Abiquiú, New Mexico. A painter whose home overlooks “the Cerro Pedernal in the distance.”Justwhen you start getting comfy in this parallel universe with a Sylvia Wrenshaped hole into which the reality of Georgia O’Keeffe has mysteriously van ished, you learn that O’Keeffe isn’t the only mysterious vanisher in the novel. You’re swept into Wren’s secret, early life in 1950s Connecticut, the second-youngest of six sisters who are heiresses to a firearms fortune.Hername, in those days, is Iris Chapel. She and her sisters live with their father— Henry Chapel, of Chapel Firearms—and their mother, Belinda, who lives a haunted life, grappling with the legacy of violence and conquest that goes with gun manu facturing in America. She’s haunted by the spirits of those killed by Chapel weapons. This haunting intertwines with her loath ing for her husband, whom she considers personally responsible for their deaths— he’s at “a slight remove from every pull of a Chapel trigger.” It’s a theme that hints at, but never re ally confronts the violence of the American narrative. Walker alludes to the genocide of Indigenous peoples, but the thread seems unfinished in comparison to what feels like the central premise of the book: Being in a cishet relationship will kill you, physically and/or spiritually.

Gay Giant By Gabriel Ebensperger June 2022, Street Noise By the time you reach the bazillionth ‘90s pop culture reference in artist/writer Gabriel Ebensperger’s stirring new au tobiographical graphic novel, Gay Giant, you’ll likely need to be a certain age to fully relate. If you are of that certain age and ilk (millennial, really), you’ll certainly feel charmed by Ebensperger’s recollec tions of MTV, radio, toys, cartoons (Jem!), family, jobs, albums (Cher! Alanis!), ro mance apps—life, generally—as a means of conveying how he came to be OK with himself.This is no exhaustive (read, exhaust ing) Ready Player One-style list of checked boxes, however. Instead, Ebensperger recounts how his love of song, Barbies and lady entertainers led him to some of the more profound epiphanies of his life; there is also perhaps no better way to connect with millennials than slyly nod ding to Totoro maybe-sorta-but-totally being queer. Oh, and the illustrations are adorable.Ebensperger grew up gay in Chile, no easy feat in the 1990s, or even now, and to make matters worse in his eyes, he grew up huge—a giant, almost. Despite the ho mophobic leanings of his immediate and extended families and a broader world still coming to terms with queer folks’ place in humanity, Ebensperger man aged to reach his sexual awakening, and he brings us along for the ride with good cheer, good humor and obvious heart. In the book’s subtler moments, we ob serve a kind of heartbreak compounded by self-loathing, but in its more hopeful and/or meaningful beats, find instead a journey to self-respect. At its core, Gay Giant weaves inspiration into seemingly commonplace moments such as quitting one’s job, kissing a boy for the first time, even learning to masturbate. In these pockets of storytelling, Ebensperger could be speaking for any of us who trav eled a more scenic route in discovering our sexuality. Think of Gay Giant like a damning yet roundabout way of challeng ing heterosexuality as a default setting. Frankly? It’s just plain not, and the queers have always led that important charge. And so you fall in love with the idea of a man while recounting your own me dia-propelled tales. If only millennials had access to such an important queer tale when we were coming up, we could have avoided all that socially constructed gen der and sexuality bullshit. Ebensperger might just be a hero. (Alex De Vore)

Tension builds on the question: Will any of the sisters escape? (Hint: be here, be queer, you might avoid a fate most drear). As for the authentic New Mexiconess of it all—don’t hate it for the flaws. Have fun picking apart the details of lo cal life that ring false: For instance, when Wren—or Chapel—orders two green chile cheeseburgers from Lotaburger. Good. But, she describes them as “cheeseburg ers with extra green chiles.” And, strike us dead if the words “the rains have been terrible today” have ever passed the lips of a Santa Fean. C’mon, Walker. The Cherry Robbers still drips with atmosphere, intrigue and fun for fans of Gothic horror. (Annabella Farmer)

Iris and her sisters are bound by a fairytale curse: “The Chapel sisters: first they get married then they get buried.” It’s a reflection of female sexuality in a patriarchal society, and it conjures a claustrophobic feeling of inevitable selfloss, whether literal or metaphorical.

Woman of Light By Kali Fajardo-Anstine

The Hacienda By Isabel Cañas May 2022, Berkley We’re guessing that if you’ve got an in terest in New Mexico history, you’ve got a connected interest to the larger history of Mexico. Even if you’re not blown away by the new work from Isabel Cañas, it’s hard not to be charmed by its unique setting. In the early 1820s, Mexico’s shortlived emperor Iturbide was overthrown. Fleeing the chaos overtaking Mexico City, young Beatriz marries Rodolfo and flees to his hacienda, San Isidro. Let’s just say it’s a fixer-upper. Yet her deter mination to transform the bleak land into a personal paradise is stopped in its tracks as angry spirits begin to whisper in her dreams and visit upon Beatriz various psychological torments. With little sympathy and even fewer options, Beatriz turns to a young (hot) priest named Andrés to help cast the demons from her home forever. And oh yeah, you can bet hot priest has some secrets, too. From the get-go, The Hacienda is clearly aimed at more casual readers. It’s not exactly built for the folks who are in between annual Victor Hugo read ings, yet it offers a great opportunity for younger literary-aspirants to take that leap from young adult lit into the goth ic sphere, or into the delights offered by magical realism. Want a classic haunted house tale, mixed with a Gaslight-like influence? You’re right at home here. One can wager most Americans ar en’t entirely knowledgeable about the 19th century Mexican caste system, and how the hacienda system propped up illegitimate governments and mili tary dictatorships in the name of profit. Even less known are the poor folks who did (or were coerced into) the labor. The Hacienda doesn’t skimp on these points, much to its credit. Cañas crafts a sto ry that can only work in this time and place: A time when revolutionary ideas are lapping up on Mexico’s shores, but superstition still holds sway over the country’s agrarian interior.

Taking on that many generations and hundreds of miles might make for a laborious narrative in other hands, but Fajardo-Anstine sketches her characters in a way that lets readers trace them effortlessly through time and space, holding constantly to the arc of Luz. Now, she is a small girl wearing moccasins; now, she’s a young woman riding a bus to the Anglo side of town to look for work; always, she’s the granddaughter of a sharpshooting circus performer. Her aunt, Marie Josie, mothers Luz and her brother, Diego, in her sister’s absence, wears men’s suits on dress-up occasions and works in a mirror factory. Her cousin, Lizette, is a laundress and dressmaker with a dream wedding on her mind. Fajardo-Anstine unfolds the details of their lives and their conversations as intricately as hidden clasps and double seams, hitting hard on themes of an emerging corner of feminism and rendering women’s stories in their complexity.Thereading might be effortless, but it’s also painful: 1930s Denver is wrought with racial, gender and economic divides that leave Luz and her family struggling for survival. Underlying this plot that stretches back to 1868 is another family, Greeks whose patriarch runs a corner store and whose up-and-comer is a lawyer with a penchant to fight for the underdog. While the men in the story aren’t all villains, their bruises are apparent. We wanted to savor the story, but we kept ravenously reading, the familiar places and suspenseful emotion compelling us to turn the pages of what’s undoubtedly a part of the new Western canon. (Julie Ann Grimm)

The Hacienda, as a debut, isn’t per fect, but perhaps it’ll strike a chord with its casual target demographic. But it’s a wonderful starting place for people who want to step into Latin American lit but not be so dedicated to works like One Hundred Years of Solitude or The House of Spirits. As suckers for anything in 19th century Mexico—and even worse for classic tales of spooky ghosts who float around and cause mis chief—we were sold. Also, you can sup port POC female authors to help you feel a little better inside and to help smash that white-dominated pub lishing industry. At least a little bit. (Riley Gardner)

Back To School Reading List For Grown-Ups

August 2022, Caminito Publishing New arrivals, long-time locals with fre quent visitors and admirers of the region’s history and nuance are just part of the in tended audience for the Encyclopedia of Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico; the book would also make for great pre-vaca tion reading and help even an old pro on a few local points.

Inheritance, An Autobiography of Whiteness By Baynard Woods June 2022, Legacy Lit Years before I cracked the pages of Inheritance, An Autobiography of Whiteness, I met its author as he played the charming host to a gathering of jour nalists with the Association of Alternative Newsmedia. Later, I published his work in SFR, and tore through a book he co-au thored about police corruption, I’ve Got a Monster. But when I started reading Baynard Woods’ memoir, I wasn’t sure I liked the guy that much after all. It’s a courageous move for an author to lead readers along a path to self discov ery when what he has discovered is the way in which he has benefited from white privilege and been a party to the systems of oppression that put people of color at a distinct disadvantage in American society. Yet, the more I read, the more I came to respect his holding of the mirror, and I concluded my gut reaction to turn away was a dive from the same reflection he of fers, that “whiteness is an institutionalized skulduggery performed by actors largely unaware of our roles. We don’t even know we are wearing masks, but we are…still responsible for the crimes committed be neath their cover.” My cringey initial dis like was probably the precise reaction he sought in the writing. Rather than leave the work of labeling to the aggrieved, he takes a “slow journey toward understanding how my whiteness worked,” from juvenile de linquency to social and moral infractions and economic advantages. Woods’ memoir is about half comingof-age and half having arrived at an age where introspection seems timely. New Mexico readers may be especially interest ed in his years here for grad school at the University of New Mexico, but the book is much more centered in the South, where he grew up, and in Baltimore, where he la bored as a journalist at the Baltimore City Paper, and in Washington DC, where he was a Notteacher.onlydoes Woods recount his upclose coverage after Baltimore police killed Freddie Gray and ignited an uprising, and of right-wing extremism in Charlottesville, Virginia, he also takes readers to the inner oval at a NASCAR race; inside a plantation house that’s still in his family; and through his recollections of painful and befud dling conversations with his father. From the Civil War and South Carolina resis tance to Reconstruction through Obama, then Trump’s presidential elections to COVID-19, the book’s contemporary set ting sits on necessary historical roots, he writes, “in an effort to make myself really think about what this horrible past means to me, what it means to us, collectively, and especially to all the people who are not white and are harmed by our unexamined whiteness.” (JAG)

The 2012 version of the encyclopedia has been a go-to resource on many a journalist’s desk and teacher’s bookshelf for good reason, and the new 10th anniversary edition publishing this month doesn’t disappoint.

By Mark H Cross

Author Mark H Cross hits on all the high points, starting with one of the nation’s longest-running lawsuits (the Aamodt litigation) and concluding with the most populous of New Mexico’s 19 pueblos (you guessed it, Zuni). Cross moved to Santa Fe in 1996 and spent more than a decade working on the first edition.

Those picking it up for a second time will find plenty of updated entries. For ex ample, Bonanza Creek Ranch, where “the operation received sad national publicity in 2021 when a supposedly unloaded prop re volver fired by actor Alec Baldwin killed one person and injured another.” And, former Gov. Susana Martinez, whose two terms running from 2011 till 2019 included an in famous pizza party at the Eldorado Hotel in 2015, where, Cross writes, “Martinez was argumentative with hotel staff and the po lice dispatcher when police responded to a noise complaint. Responding officers de scribed the governor as ‘inebriated.’” Cross includes lots of unsurprising im portant dates, but he’s also added a timeline under the heading “protest” that explains “recent years have seen a wave of protests by a disparate group of young people object ing to New Mexico’s traditional historical narrative.” We’ll say! It begins with the 2015 silent protest during the Entrada and ends with the 2020 toppling of the Plaza obelisk. We’re also big fans of the pronunciation guides, not just po-bray-SEE-toe, but also HINE-rick and MAD-rid. And don’t forget a host of maps and charts that range from average monthly rainfall to metropolitan statistical area population figures, plus bi ographical sketches of politicians, writers, artists and other figures; phrases that have become part of the lexicon, such as former Gov. Bruce King’s “box of Pandoras” gaffe and former Mayor Debbie Jaramillo’s “just off the bus”; and even other books such as Pen LaFarge’s Turn Left at the Sleeping Dog, Willa Cather’s Death Comes for the Archbishop and the undeniably critical Day Hikes in the Santa Fe Area, published by the SierraWhetherClub. you read it cover to cover or use it as a reference guide, this one is a keeper.

Breakdown: Lessons for a Congress in Crisis

“The pandemic has been a magnifying glass showing all of the cracks, all of the inequities that have been here not only in Indian Country but across the US,” writes Ahjani Yepa, Utah Diné Bikeyah Pueblo community outreachUnfortunately,coordinator.much of this awakening now feels like a dim memory, as does the hope en gendered by facing these issues during the early stages of the pandemic.Theintrospection and rec ognition of the problems facing targeted communities and our planet felt like a turning point, but now, even as the the Biden administration declared monkey pox a public health emergency, many have succumbed to the si ren song of Phoenix-based“normalcy.”activist Irene Franco Rubio writes that “Activism became trendy in 2020, but to truly dismantle systems of oppression and build a more just and caring future, everyone must continue to remain involved, vigilant, aware and socially conscious,” and the late cripplepunk activist Psarah Johnson adds an admonishment to not “fuel your economy by throwing the disabled, chronically ill and elderly under the bus.”

While Bingaman directs his sug gestions for improvement directly to Congress, his book overall would make useful reading for anyone interested in truly understanding how government works. And why it matters.“AsI look back over the last 30 years, many of the arguments that have consumed our time here in the Senate…have divided between those who saw government as the problem and those who believed that it could and should be a con structive force for helping the American people deal with prob lems,” Bingaman said in his farewell speech to the Senate (reprinted in the book). He goes on to say he con siders himself “firmly in the second camp.” Breakdown demonstrates that commitment. (Julia Goldberg)

New World Coming: Frontline Voices on Pandemics, Uprisings, and Climate Crisis Edited by Alastair Lee Bitsóí and Brooke Larsen November 2021, Torrey House Press

Back To School Reading List For Grown-Ups

The year 2020 will go down in infamy as one that brought a worldwide pandemic, a rapidly intensifying climate crisis and na tionwide reckonings with racial injustice. It’s one that many of us would prefer to forget. But New World Coming—edited by Alastair Lee Bitsóí and Brooke Larsen—is our call to remember that time, what led us there and where we hope we’re going next. Weaving together essays, po etry, storytelling and interviews, New World Coming presents a multi-perspectival glimpse into communities’ grief over pan demic and climate losses. All contributors are from, live in, or have ancestral connections to the Southwest.Thecollection is structured to reflect the phases of the moon— the first section, New Moon, fo cuses on themes of history, blood memory, ancestry and roots. What brought us here, and what do we carry with us? What is pain ful, hopeful, and what needs to be remembered?Thesecond—Quarter Moon— zeroes in on the year 2020.

Once upon a time, members of Congress understood they need ed to negotiate and compromise for the government to function. No, this is not a fairytale, but the launch-point for a new book by former US Sen. Jeff Bingaman, a Democrat elected to represent New Mexico in 1983, regarding his 30 years in that chamber. Bingaman left office in 2013 and notes, in his introduction, the dysfunction he traces to 1995 has only increased in the years since he left. Granted, the last two years have included nota ble accomplishments by Congress (the recent passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, for instance). Still, no one would argue that Congress (or any branch of the federal gov ernment, for that matter) has overcome its predilection toward dysfunction.Bingaman, as anyone who has ever encountered him would at test, is hardly an alarmist prone to hyperbole. And his book lays out the trajectory of increasing dys function with measured prose, details and no shortage of charts. Bingaman identifies early in the book Congress’ top duties: raising revenue; appropriating money; permitting the Treasury secretary to borrow as needed to meet gov ernment obligations; and, in the Senate, presidential nominations. He then walks the reader through specific examples of how members of Congress (mostly but not strictly Republicans) have thwarted those obligations by shutting down the government; threatening to default on the national debt; and, in the Senate, abusing the filibuster and refusing to consider the president’s nominees to the US Supreme Court. This dysfunction, Bingaman persuasively and exhaustively argues, prevents Congress from meeting the challenges across a va riety of sectors from the economy to the climate to health care to in ternational relations. He also puts forth itemized suggestions for how Congress can overcome the tactics that have led to its dysfunction. Those include eliminating the filibuster in the US Senate; adopting a rule that re quires the Judiciary Committee and the Senate to consider a presi dent’s judicial nominations, among various ideas for avoiding govern ment shutdowns and threats to de fault on the debt ceiling.

“To address the climate crisis,” Nicole Horseherder, executive di rector of environmental group Tó Nizhóní Ání, writes, “the greatest thing that needs to change is our mindset. We are good at lying to ourselves. We have to change our priorities and what we value.” (AF)

The third section, Full Moon, looks to the future and “illuminates what new stories, systems, and ways of being we are birthing,” write Bitsóí and Larsen, urging us to create nourishing stories that will carry us into a new paradigm.

EVENT THU/25

The spice capitals of the galaxy are Santa Fe and Arrakis. One of sci-fi’s most complex and beautiful worlds—which also features characters named Paul and Duncan Idaho for whatever reason—hits the real world this week, and if you missed this summer box-office and Academy Award-winning smash hit Dune, the Railyard Summer Movie Series is here to offer a remedy. In the new, non-David Lynch version, young Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and his family take control of the Sahara-like planet Arrakis, which holds a precious resource called “spice” that powers literally everything. But holding the planet is no easy task when every fief in the universe wants to rule the fuel. Remember the days when summer blockbusters were not the same franchise movies remade over and over and over again? Anyway, Oscar Isaac is in it, and he’s super-hot. (RG) Dune: 8 pm Saturday, Aug. 27.

According to Santa Fe Tradfest organizer Dave Dillman, the annual gathering of tra ditional music performers and enthusiasts is all about “expanding acoustic music.” If expansion is the goal, y’all can already consider 2022’s upcoming weekend-long event a success: Tradfest has one of its biggest lineups ever, and that includes per formances, workshops, stuff for kids, jams, panels, hangouts, food, camping and more.

FILM

“During the pandemic, the only way to experience music was through computer speakers,” says fiddle play er Karina Wilson, who’ll share the stage with Mariachi Sonidos del Monte and David Berkeley during the fest. “I could see the knots our minds tie when we have too much time to think...[at con certs] you can almost see those melting away, and people relax a little bit more.” (Alex De Vore)

Though the public has likely grown tired of stories touting the return of things that hit the pause button during the earlier days of the pandemic, there’s a certain good feeling that comes with talking about the return of events that have lain dormant. Enter Meow Wolf’s usually annual Monster Battle event, which returns to the Plaza this week after two long, monster-free years. Essentially, the Mon ster Battle is a family-friendly dance party featuring DJs Snaggy and Spoolius, whom you know are set to pump out the hottest and weirdest jamz. On top of that, find one of the more creative costumed gatherings ever around—a chance for kids and adults to dress weird and “battle” the other monstrosities from who even knows what dimen sions. Oh, and PS? It’s free. Fight! (ADV) Meow Wolf Monster Battle: 6 pm Thursday, Aug. 25. Free Santa Fe Plaza, 100 Old Santa Fe Trail, meowwolf.com ZOS BEFORE BROS We’re starting to get close to that time of year where we burn a puppet at the stake to symbolically ditch our doom and gloom, and if you’re eager to incorporate medievalist murder LARPing into your life earlier than the upcoming 98th Burning of Zozobra on Sept. 2, look no further than the Santa Fe Place mall. Starting Friday evening, you can you can be among the first to meet this year’s Old Man Gloom. Well, his skull at least. Venture over to the west side of the mall, where Santa Fe’s weirdest character awaits before he’s transported to Fort Marcy Park to meet his fiery destiny. Did we mention this year’s Zozo is totally ’90s-themed as part of the event’s Decades Project, which finds the nefarious monster themed for a different decade at each yearly burning? This week you can take selfies, check out the Zozo-inspired art and, perhaps most critical ly, stuff his cranium with all the glooms you’ve been saving up this year. Failing that, you can drop your gloom at SFR’s offices at 1512 Pacheco Street, suite D105. (Riley Gardner)

To achieve this level of community is no small feat. This year, for example, fea tures many acts across three days, includ ing local projects like New Mexico string band Lone Piñon, legendary bluegrass champs Mystic Lizard and storytellersinger-songwriter David Berkeley, plus out-of-towners like Austin, Texas-based Irish music revelers The Here & Now, Silver City Cajun-adjacent duo Bayou Seco and so many others. That’s not even men tioning kids’ workshops from the Queen Bee Music Association, plus food trucks such as New Mexican-focused Gerardo’s ¡Andale!, Busy Bee Frozen Custard and Good as Feast’s Greek and Middle Eastern options. It’ll be good for the casual fans, but also the more diehard traditional music lovers who have been onboard since the festival began in 2017.

“Say they want to come because they want to listen to some Balkan singing and then take a workshop in Three-Finger banjo; the whole deal is that it’s really a community.”

“As opposed to a festival where you just go and listen and that’s all you do, we’re a participatory festival,” Dillman explains.

It’s funny, because at the beginning of my opera career, I was hesitant to say I was actively racing, because they seem diametrically opposed. But during my studies, I was actually encouraged. I’m passionate about telling people these things aren’t that far away from one another. That feeling of being about to sing, put up or shut up, is the same when I’m about to race. Opera gives me the same high as racing does. Opera is considered fancy, but at its core it is visceral and human, like racing is. I’ve grown up in both worlds at the same time. My dad drove race cars, and much like F1, NASCAR was invented as an advertising ploy for big cars in America. I did NASCAR-sanctioned events all throughout the Southeast. If you wanna be cool in elementary school, get picked up by a race-car with your dad. My weekends were just spent exclusively at race tracks. Next weekend [in Mobile] I’m going to race. I’ll be in Zurich, prepping for a show, but I’ll get a call from someone [from Alabama] about racing and car problems. So I’m stuck between these two intense, niche worlds. You say opera is an athletic art. That’s not something many people would think about. What do you mean by that? When you walk into the Tristan und Isolde room, it’s like walking into a locker room. Singers can be 6 feet tall, big and broad because it takes so much body. The way we use our body, the way that we breathe and throw ourselves over the stage, it’s an incredibly athletic event. If I could take every person in the world who says opera isn’t athletic to watch Tristan und Isolde, they’d break a sweat just by watching. It’s a fully focusedPeopleevent.say racers aren’t athletes, but they are pulling 5 Gs. It’s about hand-eye coordination, how you carry your body. I’m 6’ 3”, I’m not small. It’s much more about the non-traditional athleticism—bravery, guts. When you go into an opera house you’ve got to know that in five hours, you’ve still got to be the best singer on the stage. To me, that is athleticism. Opera, and this is why I freaking love it, is both athleticism and art. It’s heavy lifting. But you get to say these words, play with colors, you get to say the Tristan words in a new way. I don’t get to look at sculptures and re-arrange. But with opera, I get to say the words in a different way than [they have been said] in 150 years. How cool is that? Should opera be as accessible as race car driving, or is the perceived exclusivity something that enhances the art? Should there be a larger effort for the masses, like there is for racing? I had a preacher tell me once that, ‘I want you to come into church wearing whatever you have. I don’t care if you’re in shorts and a t-shirt.’ But eventually, because of your respect for the nature of it, you’ll want to match the level of intensity on the stage. And that’s stuck with me for a very long time. The exclusivity bothers me. We can’t go into high schools cause of that? We lament that we have a grim and dying audience, but to be honest, it’s a renewable resource. What we need to do, in my opinion, is dig down deep and throw money at things—quality things—to bring this into high schools. It’s not just fun. It needs to be in the fabric of the community. Get someone explaining in front of kids how dope it is: ‘Here’s why Lebron would’ve been a great opera singer.’ It’s always been a European import, but it doesn’t have to be. We need to find a way to make it our own, make it more than just a European import—like a French restaurant you go to every three years. The Santa Fe Opera is one the weirdest, coolest and most awesome places to do opera in the world. It’s what they are willing to take a chance on doing. They have incredible investment, and the investment is what I’m here for. If we had more of that, opera could be a thing everywhere.

There’s nothing quite like pulling 5 Gs on the race track then hitting the stage to belt out your best notes in Tristan und Isolde. No, literally, there’s not. Still, Mobile, Alabama-based vocalist Nicholas Brownlee knows this better than anyone. The bass-baritone singer might have taken over the role of Kurwenal in the Santa Fe Opera’s rendition of the Wagner show this summer, but unlike his fellow vocalists—at least as far as we know—Brownlee races cars in his spare time. And though it’s tragic you’ll have missed your chance to hear him sing this season if you haven’t already attended the classic tale of love gone awry, Brownlee tells SFR he’ll be back for a different production next season. Before he left, though, we learned how driving can be like opera and why we all should sing more often. This interview has been edited for clarity and space. (Riley Gardner) Opera and racing seem at first like two worlds unlikely to cross. So how did they cross for you?

First off, the covered patio was open on the day we visited, and it could have been that we met after 1 pm, or just that the restaurant has ample seating, but we were at a table, gabbing and scarfing com plimentary chips and salsa before we knew it. Adelita’s has more than enough parking, too, which I guess is something that becomes very important the more you age. Dang, sorry, I’m gonna digress again to another im portant point: Gluten. See, my dining companion recently dis covered they’ve been living with undiag nosed celiac disease, which is that affliction that makes eating gluten an impossibility. Adelita’s, they said, is one of the restaurants where they can eat tacos without facing se vere pain, stomach and otherwise. They were quick to point out that just because they can eat there does not mean everyone ever diag nosed with celiac can, too, but it’s still worth saying that it works for them. Do note the taco asada dish they ordered ($13.95) was not specifically listed as a gluten-free meal, just that you’d be surprised where you’ll find gluten in general (once, my companion said, they found something glutenous in a thing of cashews as a de-sticking agent), and these tacos don’t mess them up—and they’re a reg ular at Adelita’s. The tacos looked amazing, too, and came more Mexican-style, which is to say we’re talking grilled tenderloin beef in corn tortillas with onion and cilantro she or dered on the side. The smell was brilliant, too, and despite my companion telling the story of how celiac kind of trained them to not notice when they get hungry, they appeared to have no issues during our lunch. I, meanwhile, continued my ongoing pork quest (with which regular readers might be fa miliar thanks to my recent column, Pork Roll, from our Aug. 3 issue) in the form of a carne adovada stuffed sopaipilla. For a staunch sup porter of and believer in burritos as the most perfect of all dishes, I sure find myself consid ering the stuffed sopaipilla often. I’ve lived a lot of different places, but I’ve never found a similar dish outside of New Mexico. Throw some slow-roasted pork and red chile into the mix, and you’ve basically found something incredible and, at Adelita’s, incredible would be an understatement. Kudos to the kitchen for not only churning out some of the most flavorful and tender pork around, but also for including a reasonable amount in the dish. Adelita’s red chile is a real highlight, too, particularly in the fla vor department. You can practically feel the cumin giving you herbal-y superpowers, and though the spici ness kicked in on a slight delay, that was actually a pleasant element. The dish was rounded out with rice and refried beans, and some thing about the quartet of sopa, pork, rice and beans unlocked a long-dormant memory in my brain of my first forays into red chile as a youth, and how hard I long for de cent refried beans on the regular. Speaking of which, why is it so tricky to find quality refried beans in Santa Fe? Whole pintos are great, but when it comes to a hefty plate of New Mexico’s finest food highlights, give me some refries with melted cheese on top. Adelita’s delivered this and more, and it could easily be one of the most praiseworthy New Mexican dishes I’ve had of late. My companion told me how often they and their partner visit, sit on the patio and eat. Given the delectable meal I had, plus the kind and quick service from the waitstaff, I want to tell people a story like that. Perhaps when we’re sitting on the patio talking about things we like to eat before an other lunch, or even a dinner.

Asada tacos at Adelita’s worked for a gluten-intolerant dining bud.

BY ALEX DE

It could be I’m facing some mental block about Adelita’s Mexican Restaurant because the Cerrillos Road eatery was a Burger King when I was a kid, and I’ve lit tle interest in eating Whoppers. But when a friend recently suggested we have a meeting at Adelita’s to talk very important business matters, my response poured out of my fin gers into a DM so quickly that I’m not even sure my brain had the proper time to formu late it so much as my body knew what to say: “Oh, we can 100% do Adelita’s. That’s smart as F*@$.”And smart it was, not only because there’s no bad day to eat chile, but because I once again realized how excellent the food tastes at Adelita’s, which brought me to a loop of self-admonishment and questioning about why I haven’t eaten there more often. If noth ing else, many of Santa Fe’s downtown restau rants have become untenable due to parking alone. When SFR had its offices on Marcy Street, I knew I’d always have a spot. Now I’ll circle the block of some place I’d like to eat no more than three times before I say screw it and head to one of my Midtown faves like Red Enchilada. Don’t get me wrong—it’s not be cause the food at restaurants like The Shed or Palacio isn’t amazing, it’s because I’ve become old and cranky and I just don’t want to wait around for my damn red chile. But I digress back to my original point: Adelita’s—which is named for La Adelita, the archetypical woman warrior from during the Mexican Revolution and has been around since ’98—is a downright local treasure, and you’d never know there’d been a Burger King in that space if I hadn’t brought it up.

“They can just come see it,” Miles replied.“Soit’s not going to be sold?” I volleyed back.“No, it’s not going to be sold,” Miles replied. “People think I don’t like white people when I say this, which is not true, but we, Native artists, have allowed white people to define our art for us, whether that’s in museums or galleries or even just in public, and that includes commerce. Something like this, people can come look at it; Native people; it’s something by us, forIus.”ask what it’ll look like when he’s fin ished, and though he doesn’t want to spoil it completely, mentions it’ll feature Apache figures, minimalist colors and graffiti-style lettering across the bottom of the body, spelling out the names of notable Apache warriors.

It will encapsulate the style and ethos of two great artists—one still living, one dead since ’94, and still no lessAndimpactful.sowe talked of art and culture, of the renewed force in Native film and television, and Miles’ more than 20 years serving the youths of his homeland and be yond. We were even enlisted to help move a pair of weighty Houser sculptures for an open house event that coincided with last weekend’s Indian Market. I watched Miles as he briefly viewed and considered a se ries of Houser nude sketches in the com pound’s gallery space, his eyes lit up in the way they only can when someone doesn’t know someone else has noticed. I’ve seen that look before, too. It’s awe.

“It’s a trip,” Arizona-based artist Douglas Miles Sr. told SFR of a recent project that found him adding new artistic touches to his personal hero Allan Houser’s car.

“I don’t think people think about it,” he explained. “If they’re skating here, they’re skating on Native land.” I told him that generally when we correspond, or even when he just posts something online about his practice, his thought processes, his world view, I tend to stop and think about things a little more deeply.“You had a good one recently,” I told him. “Something about new or young artists?”“Oh,yeah,” he said. “‘Be careful how you talk about up-and-coming artists. They might pass you up one day.’” His own work changes lives, even mine, but still he’s out there making sure to think of who comes next, whom he can bring up with him or hand a skateboard. He looked me square in the eye and shook my hand firmly just before I hit the road.

Arizona artist Douglas Miles Sr.

E arly on, it took Arizona-based art ist Douglas Miles Sr. (San Carlos Apache) time to find the where withal to show his work publicly. Today, Miles is the founder of Apache Skateboards, an intersectional skate brand, fine art business and social jus tice organization active since 2002; he’s a respected multimedia creator and out spoken public figure who bends the con straints of performance and visual arts through heady photography and social media manipulation. The man literally hands out skateboards emblazoned with his art for free to young Native skaters— he conducts photo shoots with them and builds skate parks; he makes films. Back in the ’90s, however, when his family first encouraged him to showcase his illustrations, his design work, his painting, he balked. “I just didn’t have that confidence yet,” Miles recently explained, “but they told me to look at a lot of the work out there. They told me if [others] could do it, I could do it.” This isn’t to say Miles’ family was dogging on artists, rather that they be lieved Miles had more talent and more to say than he realized. He’d drawn in school, he was interested the graphic design work of skateboards; he’d attended design classes of his own through Arizona’s Mesa Community College. But, he said, when the fine art world continues to foster a perceived high bar of entry—and this is 20-plus years ago, mind you—people start to think they can’t do it. What a terrible concept. Miles, however, can most definitely do it. I’ve been corresponding with him for years, but until the other day, we’d somehow never met in person. Luckily, he reached out, late night, through Facebook messenger a couple weeks back: “The Allan Houser Family & Estate has re quested and commissioned me to paint his 1993 Cadillac Allante convertible,” he wrote. “I’ll be at his compound next week painting.”Icouldn’t resist, and that is how I came to be at Haozous Place, the sprawling com pound, gallery and sculpture garden south of Santa Fe last week, observing Miles as he worked his multimedia magic on the last car Houser reportedly ever drove. It is worth noting, too, that while I was with Miles, Houser’s son Bob Haozous, a cele brated artist in his own right, took the time to say hello and tell me a little bit about his own future plans (hopefully more on that soon). I was starstruck, really, and, I dunno, something felt borderline historic about being there. Miles felt it, too. “I met Allan only once, and it was kind of by accident,” he said. “I was doing this market in Arizona, and suddenly I look up, and there’s Allan and his wife, checking out the booths and saying hi to everyone. So when he got to me, he looked around at my stuff, and then he asked me, ‘Are you showing in galleries?’ I told him, ‘No, I’m not.’ And he looked at me and just said, ‘YouTherewill.’”was no way for Houser to know what a massive moment that was for Miles, who had grown up pulling influence from Houser’s many works and media. A series of junior high-level books about Apache warriors like Geronimo and Cochise had hit Miles like a ton of bricks when he was entering teendom; Houser’s sculptural pieces have always pretty much spoken for themselves and to anyone with an interest in figurative art. Cut to today, and Miles is most definitely showing in galleries and museums, just like Houser said. I cannot stress enough the radical impact of get ting kids skateboarding, either. And there he was, painting a Cadillac that belonged to one of his personal heroes. What a trip. “Can people just come see it when it’s done?” I asked.

Results may vary from person to person, but WalkerSilverman at least starts the conversation. It’s fun to catch hometown hero Studi stretch ing his legs into a simple and humanist role through which he cuts a handsome and sympathetic figure.

With all due respect to the numerous enjoyable (and not so enjoyable) Predator movies that have come out thus far, Fox’s newest entry in the long-beloved alien/monster/horror/sci-fi franchise is a breath of fresh air, a massive jump in Indigenous representa tion and, frankly, so damn awesome it’s kind of out of control.Theyear is 1719, and a young Comanche woman named Naru (a positively electric Amber Midthunder) finds herself at odds with her place within her community. She’d like to hunt and has the chops to do so, but everyone else in her tribe, includ ing her brother Taabe (newcomer Dakota Beavers), underestimates her ability and pressures her to stick with medicine and food prep and such. And then the Predator appears with its futuristic weapons and cloaking tech and bloodlust. Not entirely sure what’s roaming the woods outside her village melting wolves and scaring mountain lions, Naru seizes an opportunity to prove herself, but with French coloniz ers in the area, ferocious animals at every turn and, if you’ll recall, the freaking Predator skulking around invisibly, she might have taken on a little too much. Prey excels in its subtler efforts every bit as much as it does in its powerful depictions of violence. Yes, you’ll find gore and lasers and a fantastically badass tomahawk on a rope, but with producer Jhane Myers (Comanche and Blackfeet, and you’ll find a Q&A with her on page 25) playing a role in getting the Native content right, you’ll find a love letter to tribal forti tude and elegance. For every bear fight or gross French trapper who gets got, find a compelling lesson on hunting tactics, familial dynamics and land-use savvy. Even seemingly small elements—such as how Naru wields her bow, how the village operates in the background or, brilliantly, how the French language doesn’t get subtitled—has a stirring effect. It’s also weirdly satisfying that every Native character has a name, while all the white folks are credited like “FrenchmanMidthunder1.” dominates in the role of Naru and creates a sympathetic character whose motivations might be about survival, but who never loses her humanity. Beavers is a revelation as well, a partic ularly notable achievement given that he’s never acted in a film before. Together they convey a loving sense of competition common to siblings; togeth er they do some of the craziest stuff we’ve seen on film in some time. It’s a testament to Myers’ dedication, but also to director Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane) for wanting authenticity and getting it the right way. If you want to catch all the Predator Easter eggs and all the nods to Indigenous culture, Prey screams for multiple viewings. Luckily it’s big on the feels and the cultural cache. It’s just an incredibly fun film to watch. (ADV) Hulu, R, 99 min.

An unknowable number of days passes as nearby residents and campers pop by for things as mundane as dinner invitations or as amusing as wanting to dig up a dead father they buried beneath the campsite back before the oil pump went up, when the view was still nice. Eventually, we learn, Faye has been waiting for someone, a man from her youth with whom she shared a relationship of some kind. When the man, Lito (Wes Studi) does finally show, his visit is fleeting, but Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day” might as well underscore the couple’s moving, heartfelt, dis appointing time together. Faye leaves in better emo tional shape than when she arrived, though subtly so; Lito leaves only the slightest trace that he was there, though his imprint remains indelible. We never ex plicitly learn what went down between them as kids, but we do know they both married others who have since died. Is it better, then, to take a chance on love and know for sure, or do you hold onto the thrill of what might have been? Does courage fade over time, or does it morph into a different version altogether?

CGISTRONGREPRESENTATION;CAST;ACTIONISSOMETIMESGOOFY

A s much as director/writer Max WalkerSilverman’s new minimalist romance film, A Love Song, is about the past that shapes us, it’s more about the good things that have not yet come to pass. Not much happens in Walker-Silverman’s world, but then, it’s not a film of flash, but rather a qui etly powerful exploration of aging and ingenuity, sol itude and fortitude. Simply put, it’s a film about love. In the middle of nowhere, near a small lake—likely in Colorado, though the film doesn’t specify—a wom an named Faye (a career-best Dale Dickey) occupies campsite 7, where she whiles away the hours catching crawdads, listening to the radio and engaging in light reading from her impressive collection of exactly two Audubon Field Guides (one on the birds of the day, one on the stars of the night).

A Love Song Review Our greatest days might still be ahead of us

The spike in media re-examination of the Princess of Wales has become a little much, don’t we think? After Kristen Stewart’s admit tedly glorious portrayal in last year’s Spencer, the abysmal Diana: The Musical and more documentaries than one can count, we might want to give it a rest. Yet new HBO doc The Princess manages to tread at least a little new territory as it tells the same story. Director Ed Perkins (Tell Me Who I Am) might even be the first filmmaker to succesfully portray a cogent transition from the cultural figurehead of Lady Di to the historical Princess of Wales. Still, to nail it wholly would require a much more thor ough delve into a country that allowed Diana’s ill-fated celebrity to reach critical mass. The Princess is thankfully free of talking head interviews, which gives Perkins the space to make the decidedly more clever move of presenting Diana’s greatest hits through archival footage. But there’s less of her than one might expect. A big chunk of this documentary isn’t even about the woman, but rather the court of public opinion. Even more interestingly, The Princess opens with footage of various ’80s riots, which creates a novel foundation for the rest of the documentary: national doubt in the form of economic reces sion, the last breaths of colonial-esque wars and Thatcherism. A “woman of the people” emerges in Diana. It’s populism, but it has a crown.The British Royal Family remains interest ing to a select few, unless we’re talking drama. Yet, The Princess keeps a grip on its own cha risma, even as it descends into duller, welltrod tabloid gossip. Perkins’ film could have gone deeper into the socio-economic factors that built Diana’s mythos, but he steers the ship into the safer waters of accountability in the wake of her sudden death. I also wish he had more footage of Princess Anne hang ing around the College of Santa Fe, where he features her learning of Prince William’s birth as she exits a gala at the Greer Garson Theater as part of a “goodwill tour.” Yup, that abandoned campus is part of the Princess Di story,Whilefolks.The Princess loses sight of its orig inal thesis of a trembling nation searching for a new North Star, it is a fitting entry-level watch. Perkins helps bring a little more sense to things by which American brains seem flustered. Those who already know anything likely won’t learn anything new, but the big gest royal-skeptic in your life might still be enchanted by the narrative. (Riley Gardner) HBO Max, NR, 109 min. +

He’s natural and suave as Lito, even if he stumbles through old guitar licks in an apparent bid to impress Faye. We immediately learn she doesn’t need much, though, and even his awkward attempts at filling the silence don’t go unnoticed. Dickey, however, defines the film and conveys more by nervously tucking her hair behind her ear than lesser actors deliver in fullon speeches worth of dialogue. She is open to person al evolution, perhaps cautiously, but not timid. When played against Studi’s boyish charms and beaming smile, her regression into restrained adolescent gid diness feels like yearning in the best way. Their time together reads like a dream, though an impossible one that seems only sillier by the light of day. Some things aren’t meant to last, it seems. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the Spansh language, there’s the idiom pensando en la inmortalidad del cangrejo. Its literal translation is “thinking about the immortality of the crab.” It applies to a person engaged in creative daydreaming—her imagination wandering freely in hopes of rousing innovative solutions to practical dilemmas. Other languages have similar idioms. In Finnish, istun ja mietin syntyjä syviä means “wondering about the world’s early origins.” Polish has marzyć o niebieskich migdałach, or “dreaming about blue almonds.” I encourage you to enjoy an abundance of such explorations in the coming days, Capricorn. You need to fantasize more than usual.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Kabbalistic writer Simon Jacobson says, “Like a flame, the soul always reaches upward. The soul’s fire wants to defy the confines of life. It cannot tolerate the mediocrity and monotony of sheer materialism. Its passion knows no limits as it craves for the beyond.” That sounds both marvelous and hazardous, right? Jacobson concludes, “Whether the soul’s fire will be a constructive or destructive force is dependent on the person’s motivation.” According to my astrological analysis, your deep motivations are likely to be extra noble and generous in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. So I expect that your soul’s fire will be very constructive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You should never allow yourself to be tamed by others. That advice is always apropos for you Leos, and even more crucial to heed in the coming weeks. You need to cultivate maximum access to the raw, primal sources of your life energy. Your ability to thrive depends on how well you identify and express the beautiful animal within you. Here’s my only caveat: If you imagine there may be value in being tamed a little, in harnessing your brilliant beast, do the taming yourself. And assign that task to the part of you that possesses the wildest wisdom.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran blogger Ana-Sofia Cardelle writes, “I look back on past versions of myself with such love and tenderness. I want to embrace myself at different parts of my life.” I hope you’re inspired by her thoughts as you carry out the following actions: 1. Create an altar filled with treasures that symbolize major turning points in your destiny. 2. Forgive yourself for what you imagine to be old errors and ignorance. 3. Summon memories of the persons you were at ages 7, 12, and 17, and write a kind, thoughtful message to each. 4. Literally kiss seven different photos of your face from earlier in your life. 5. Say “thank you” and “bless you” to the self you were when you succeeded at two challenging tests in the past.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The witch Lisa Chamberlain writes about the magical properties of colors. About brown, she says it “represents endurance, solidity, grounding, and strength.” She adds that it’s used in magic to enhance “balance, concentration, material gain, home, and companion animals.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, the upcoming weeks should be a deeply brown time for you Geminis. To move your imagination in a righteous direction, have fun wearing clothes in shades of brown. Grace your environment with things that have the hues of chestnut, umber, mahogany, sepia, and burnt sienna. Eat and drink caramel, toffee, cinnamon, almonds, coffee, and chocolate.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Whenever you are contemplating a major decision, I hope you raise questions like these: 1. Which option shows the most self-respect? 2. Which path would be the best way to honor yourself? 3. Which choice is most likely to help you fulfill the purposes you came to earth to carry out? 4. Which course of action would enable you to express your best gifts? Are there questions you would add, Virgo? I expect the coming months will require you to generate key decisions at a higher rate than usual, so I hope you will make intensive use of my guiding inquiries, as well as any others you formulate.

AUGUST 24-30, 2022 • SFREPORTER.COM30 ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the coming weeks, I urge you to flee from stale and rigid certainty. Rebel against dogmatic attitudes and arrogant opinions. Be skeptical of unequivocal answers to nuanced questions. Instead, dear Aries, give your amused reverence to all that’s mysterious and enigmatic. Bask in the glimmer of intriguing paradoxes. Draw inspiration and healing from the fertile unknown. For inspiration, write out this Mary Oliver poem and carry it with you: “Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers. Let me keep company with those who say ‘Look!’ and laugh in astonishment, and bow their heads.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You know more about how karma works than all the other signs. Scorpio-style intelligence typically has a fine intuitive grasp of how today’s realities evolved out of the deep patterns and rhythms of the past. But that doesn’t mean you perfectly understand how karma works. And in the coming weeks, I urge you to be eager to learn more. Become even savvier about how the law of cause and effect impacts the destinies of you and your allies. Meditate on how the situations you are in now were influenced by actions you took once upon a time. Ruminate on what you could do in the near future to foster good karma and diminish weird karma.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian poet Danusha Laméris discovered that earthworms have taste buds all over their bodies. Now she loves to imagine she’s giving them gifts when she drops bits of apples, beets, avocados, melons, and carrot tops into the compost bin. “I’d always thought theirs a menial life, eyeless and hidden, almost vulgar.” But now that she understands “they bear a pleasure so sublime,” she wants to help the worms fulfill their destinies. I mention this, Cancerian, because I suspect you may have comparable turnarounds in the coming weeks. Long-held ideas may need adjustments. Incomplete understandings will be filled in when you learn the rest of the story. You will receive a stream of interesting new information that changes your mind, mostly in enjoyable ways.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A blogger named Chaconia writes, “I’ve cultivated a lifetime of being low maintenance and easy-going, and now I’ve decided I’m done with it. Demanding Me is born today.” I’m giving you temporary permission to make a similar declaration, Taurus. The astrological omens suggest that in the coming weeks, you have every right to be a charming, enchanting, and generous version of a demanding person. So I authorize you to be just that. Enjoy yourself as you ask for more of everything.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): My Aquarian reader Georgie Lee wrote to tell me what it’s like being an Aquarius. I offer it to you because you are potentially at the peak of expressing the qualities she names. She says, “Accept that you don’t really have to understand yourself. Be at peace with how you constantly ramble, swerve, and weave to become more of yourself. Appreciate how each electric shift leads to the next electric shift, always changing who you are forever. Within the churning, ever-yearning current, marvel at how you remain eternal, steady, and solid—yet always evolving, always on a higher ground before.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Here’s a good way build your vibrancy: Use your emotional intelligence to avoid swimming against strong currents for extended periods. Please note that swimming against strong currents is fine, even advisable, for brief phases. Doing so boosts your stamina and fosters your trust in your resilience. But mostly, I recommend you swim in the same direction as the currents or swim where the water is calm and currentless. In the coming weeks, I suspect you can enjoy many freestyle excursions as you head in the same direction as vigorous currents.
