In this collection of poems, Vivian Mary Carroll (Cherokee Nation) crafts keen expressions of a life lived deeply. From time spent following rock-and-roll bands through to experiences as a Native woman, Carroll takes us through beauty, love, and heartbreaking wonder.

"These are the poems of a life-long traveler" (James Thomas Stevens) with "brisk lines of pull-no-punches wit, her own beguiling logic, and always a touch of heart coupled with resistance" (Sawnie Morris). This paperback edition is run on 50# creme paper with a matte laminate finish, printed and bound in the United States.
