In this innovative debut collection, Tacey M. Atsitty employs traditional, lyric, and experimental verse to create an intricate landscape she invites readers to explore. Presented in three sections, Tseyi', Gorge Dweller, and Tohee', the poems negotiate between belief and doubt, self and family, and interior and exterior landscapes.
