Neil Philip brings together 60 chants, prayers and songs in this collection. Often haiku-like in their spareness, the quietly magnificent poems sing of war, love, the land and animals. This is a serious collection of a largely unrecorded poetic tradition. Over 40 of Edward S. Curtis's (1868-1952) elegant duotone photographs accompany the text.
