    About this ebook

    "M.L Smoker's poems are tough, funny, magical, but not in a goofy way. This is blue-collar magic. Unemployed magic. Living on government cheese magic. I highly recommend this collection."-Sherman Alexie

    "Not many poets can give vast to vast land, tall, cold mountains, powerful wind everlasting. Mandy Smoker does, and more:she lends the power of the land to human experience, and makes their inextricable binding clear."-Paula Gunn Allen

    "...not just mythical, but the voice of myth itself."-Debra Magpie Earling "...stunning and memorable poems." -Jim Harrison
