Résumé
In 2023, Michael Jay Tucker and his wife Martha embarked on one of their signature trips-this time, back to New Mexico, the place where he had spent his boyhood and, for a time, where they had built a home together. Though they had since moved to Texas to be, as they say, "closer to the kids and grandkids, " the Land of Enchantment never quite released its hold on them. Their visit was more than just a getaway; it was a journey through memory, a chance to reconnect with a place that had shaped them both.
They revisited familiar haunts, places that had once been constants in their lives but now bore the quiet weight of time. Some remained untouched, as if waiting for their return, while others had changed-reshaped by new businesses, shifting communities, and the inevitable march of progress. But the trip wasn't solely about nostalgia. It was also about discovery. As they explored new corners of the state, Tucker was reminded of what had made New Mexico so captivating in the first place.
One of the highlights of their journey was an evening in Santa Fe Square, where they listened to James McMurtry, a favorite musician, performing beneath the vast New Mexico sky. Yet, as with all beautiful places, shadows lingered beneath the sunlight. Tucker couldn't help but notice that Albuquerque, like so many cities, had changed-and not always for the better. Signs of struggle were more pronounced than he remembered.
Homelessness, addiction, and economic hardship stood in stark contrast to the city's natural beauty and vibrant culture. The visit served as a reminder that no place, no matter how beloved, exists apart from the world's larger currents of hardship and change. Still, what stayed with him after the trip was not just the contrast between past and present but the enduring connection he felt to the land itself.
New Mexico was more than just a location-it was a story, a piece of himself that he carried with him no matter where he lived. In this book, part travelogue, part memoir, part love letter, M. Jay Tucker reflects on what it means to return to a place that once defined you, to see it anew, and to find meaning in both its beauty and its contradictions. For anyone who has ever loved a place so deeply that it remains part of them, this is a journey worth taking-through landscapes both external and internal, through history, change, and the stories we carry with us.
