Description
Spanning nearly three decades of work, this new and selected poetry collection traces a powerful artistic journey through memory, history, identity, and renewal. Drawing on Muscogee Creek traditions, Native American mythology, music, and the realities of contemporary reservation life, the poems confront injustice while celebrating beauty, kinship, and resilience. With language that is lyrical, compassionate, and wide-ranging, the collection asks what it means to become fully human amid cultural loss and survival. Together, these poems form an act of remembrance and grace—and a vision of art as a force for connection and justice.
