Deco created the collage “Hear the Echoes” specifically for New Mexico Poetry Out Loud. The collage depicts an iconic New Mexico landscape, and has embedded the names of 39 poets associated with New Mexico; these poets have their work included in the Poetry Foundation's anthology, which is used as the basis for the Poetry Out Loud competition. New Mexico Arts used the Original Collage as the basis of their promotional poster.
