Review # 1 was written on 2017-12-10 00:00:00 Alana Winner I wanted to like this so badly. I'd read one of her stories years ago and it stuck with me so I was excited to read this collection. The poetry is lovingly observed from the minute moments of life, if a bit dry. But overall, I felt distanced from the characters and stories in the book. Just when I was starting to care about someone, I felt like I was being pushed away.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-12-20 00:00:00 Tony Nurtoin I read this on the recommendation of two friends. They raved about it, and I usually enjoy Native American literature. However, this collection fell flat for me. In the poetry section, only the poem Heritage touched my soul; the others, while vivid, just didn't seem to connect. The stories were more enjoyable and her sense of character was strong, but most seemed unfinished.
