Sonoran Strange is a label, a description, a manner of understanding the Arizona – Mexico borderlands. Sonoran Strange is a book of poems by Logan Dirtyverbs Phillips and a performance piece by Verbo•bala Spoken Video, performed by Adam Cooper-Terán and Logan Dirtyverbs.
What if the Catalina Mountains outside Tucson dreamed of one day jumping the border of horizon, to follow their dreams of becoming thunderheads? What if the Apaches had won? What if the saguaros were sent to boarding school in Pennsylvania? What if the snowbirds don’t come home to roost, if the tumbleweeds decide to settle down? What if sand shoots from the sprinklers? What if the water runs out?
