IN THE TRAIL OF THE WIND: American Indian Poems and Ritual Orations

By

Publisher: Farrar, Straus & Giroux

Handsomely produced and thoughtfully edited, a cross-cultural assemblage of Indian literature. Arrangement is thematic rather than ethnic; emerging motifs are the power of words, the significance of dreams, the sacredness of nature, the four world corners, the number 4. An impressive testament.
