The light, the colors, the geography, the presence of the relatively intact pueblo -- very powerful to artists and writers. Thanks for your comment. Alan Dear Lynn

Very true, but I also felt that Taos was more magical and inspiring than Santa Fe, frankly. The light, the colors, the geography, the presence of the relatively intact pueblo — very powerful to artists and writers.

Thanks for your comment.

Santa Fe is also a fascinating treasure trove of literary legacies, and though it is a much bigger town than Taos, it seems to me that Taos possesses a much more intense literary circle than Santa Fe ever had. This may be due to the fact that when Mabel first arrived in New Mexico, stopping in Santa Fe, she realized early on that other writers would come to dominate the social scene there, including famous poet and editor Alice Corbin Henderson. So Lujan made a beeline for Taos, realizing that she could dominate the salon-style circles there, and hence was the famous Taos put on the world's art and culture map. Thanks again for the citation.
