Synopsis

Drawing on his native heritage, Niatum interweaves the themes of aging and community, speaking powerfully of dislocation and banishment from "the country of my blood." Indelible images from the animal world, the author's persona and tribal memory, and the realm of dreams make this collection a moving testament to the Native American tradition.
