Eddie Joe's Road Trip

Eddie Joe's Journey to the Pequot Powwow

I am glad my brother and his family made it home safely. Now I just hope he doesn't start wearing those Amish clothes he bought as souvenirs in Indiana!

O yeah, Eddie just told me he got his tribal paper today, that means I will get my issue in about two weeks. I swear, they must send that paper by pony express!

Up North

I went to a poetry reading

Up North…

I heard the song-writer & poet

Tell of how the Ojibwe Vietnam Veteran

went into the sweat-lodge

& how he went back to Vietnam…

& found his spirit & he said it is time to go home now!

A Mind of his Own is about the author David Treuer and is funny to read! God forbid, we sure don't want to hurt the feelings of any of our so-called Native American Authors like Louise Erdrich or Winona LaDuke or for that matter David Treuer!

A Comment on my Song-Poem

This comment was left about my song-poem Grandmother Earth Blues

"What a great poem! There is both humor and tragedy in these 16 lines. The image of the Polar bears drowning in warming seas combined with your great humor--the Alaskan Natives coming upon "a bird they have no name for in their native languages/ It is called a robin!" (for all the bitter irony I still love that line!) Thank you.

You have a wondeful blog here.

This comment was left by Zachary Chartkoff of the poetry blog Myth of Arrival. I had to post this comment 'cos it is rare when someone says anything good about any of my song-poems!
