Poetry. Native American Studies. In this tightly written poetic saga of a modern Comanche village in Oklahoma, the young narrator is surrounded by gambling thugs, drugged-out gangs, and memories of the glory days of warriors who tried to preserve the land. The tragicomic narrative mirrors a life neither easy nor forgettable.
