Description
This visionary poetry collection weaves memory, dream, myth, and the scars of American history into a meditation on Indigenous identity and survival. Its poems trace humanity’s estrangement from the natural world while searching for renewal, spiritual connection, and a path toward a more just future. Rich in symbolism and musical language, the work calls readers to recover forgotten names, ancestral voices, and the sustaining wisdom of the land. Both elegiac and hopeful, it transforms history’s wounds into a map for resilience and rebirth.
