Book Synopsis
The world of acclaimed Native American poet Adrian Louis is harsh and full of pain. Louis's poems bring us to a place where ghosts hitchhike and the traditional pow-wow becomes an affirmation of bitter survival, where the lives of the young end too often in acts of meaningless self-destruction, and where his own existence becomes a daily battle with his wife's decline into Alzheimer's disease.
