Chickasaw writer Rebecca Hatcher Travis bases the poems in her exquisite first collection on memories of life in her family and on the Oklahoma landscapes and scenes that surrounded her as a child. Her poems also serve as testimonies to the First American ancestors who have passed on to the next life.
