Indian Trains is about an entirely new tribe: urban mixed-bloods of multiple tribes who are respectful of where their ancestors have come from but are increasingly going to Indian powwows, Indian bars, and Urban Native organizations for cultural fulfillment rather than only returning to reservations to find out who they are.

6 x 9 inches • 72 pages • ISBN 978-0-9753486-7-3

This is a funny, sad, and powerful book. Each poem is lovely and the cumulative effect is devastating.

Sherman Alexie

The country between poetry and stories is where this story-singer comes from. Tales of polished obsidian. Full of night, fascinating, and frightful. Glistening and brilliant. Small enough to hold in the hand. Sharp enough to tear open the heart. I was left breathless.
