Beschreibung

Llanero : a boyhood on the 360-of-180 is a memoir of growing up atop the flattest mountain on Earth. The writer -- Andy Wilkinson -- a poet, songwriter and artist -- reflects on how the Llano Estacado shaped him as a person as it shaped his work. It also speaks to how place shapes us all. The artist -- Amanda Sneed -- who also grew up on the Llano Estacado -- reacted to the text with her multi-layered use of bold colors and brash forms to tell the story in a different way.
