Summary:
A collection by an Indian poetess from California. In Blood Sisters, she writes: "I told you about the Maidu song my mother sang / in a scale I could never learn, / and about the tree on an old dirt road / where the white men lynched my people. / ... / We glance at one another / fall silent. / Americans do not know these things / nor do they want to know."
