Veroñica Ortiz

Aqua de la Noria

Veroñica Ortiz was born n La Jara, Colorado of ranchers-sheepherders. Her poetry reflects that culture. In 1981, her poetry became folk song of the Northern New Mexico area, now her home.

She has completed a manuscript of poems called "Hielo en las Orillas" and a drama with a song entitled "Manjagitiana Gypsy Nun"

In the summer of 1983, she furthered her folkloric studies by a visit to the Purepecha Indians of Michoacan. She looks to nature and her inner self for solutions to life situations.

Her catalogue includes:

"Nueva Canción Neomexicana"

"Canciones a Dulcinea"

"Songs of Redemption"

"Canciones de la Monjagitana"
