The Jaguar at Temple. Photos by Ms. Linda Martin

Jaguar Speaks IS the Online version of Zocalo Magazine, a Literary Quarterly released in Oaxaca, Mexico.  We’re  looking for new prose and poetry by Rodrigo, Parmer Snider, Mary Ellen Sanger and photos and links.

There will be a new photos section (See Donna Ryan’s Webblog) where models and photographers can submit portraits and photos. Clothing is permitted but not required. Quality is the first choice. Color or Black and White, no matter.

  Check out Chelsie Miller’s website and blog (below). <http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=271549&id=669755120>. Copyright photos at her link by MoDeZinz Studio and the one in the dress standing in the field is Dan Doyle Studio.

This site will be constantly under construction.

To read the local news cut directly to The News, click on http://www.thenews.com.mx/home/tnportada_v.asp.  Here it is, without walking to the Zocalo and buying The News. To make searching for current events in Oaxaca, the latest happenings, check out Margie Barclay’s Calendar at http://oaxacacalendar.com/.

Check out the links as most anything you want to know about will be found in one of them. If not, let me know and I’ll add the news ones, like Chelsie’s photos and right now a good time to check out Jim Cline’s “Day of the Dead” photos. He is a great photographer.

If you go to their www.si-oaxaca.com you will get an idea of how helpful this pocket-sized guidebook will be when you’re out and about.

Linda Martin’s painting at Las Granadas B&B: http://www.lasgranadasoaxaca.com/paintings_and_rugs.html. Linda Martin lives year round in Oaxaca.  She came to Oaxaca from the US to escape the drab, cold winters. “Arriving in Oaxaca in 1999, I was captivated. Having come from the harsh winters of Michigan, South Dakota, Kansas City, and Cambridge, Massachusetts, I was sick of snow drifts, clogged, frozen parking spaces, and trees that lose their leaves for the long winter months. I had tired of censoring my schemes for migration. I got out my camera and my paint brushes.”
