A book to live by
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Alternately wry, sly, warm, and lusty, these poems explore the universal contained in the particular experience. From the rural complexity of reservation life in North Dakota to the interwoven human relations of inner city Baltimore, this book is a clear-eyed, insightful, encompassing and forgiving-and never sentimental-look at the world and all its creatures.
Reel this one in!

Poems that revisit and reshape the myths that guide our lives and our culture. This collection records, with memorable imagery and striking lines, the lives of some of the Native American people the author grew up with. It also comments on the political events of our time. And, interspersed throughout are some of the most sensitive and down-to-earth and intellectual love poems you'll ever find. Don't let this book be "the one that got away."
