These Coyote tales are funny, profound, sometimes sad, and always wise. Blue Cloud’s style and power have made this book a classic. These tales take coyote from his mythic beginnings to the present in stories that show his enduring vitality."Blue Cloud’s poems are living proof that the power and beauty of the Old Way cannot be lost. . . . Blue Cloud does nothing glamorous: he speaks from his own heart and life. He is a true poet, at home in all times, everywhere." —Gary SnyderPeter Blue Cloud is a Mohawk who now lives on the reserve in Kahnawake, Quebec. Winner of an American Book Award, he is the author of numerous collections, including Clans of Many Nations.

Mohawk Blue Cloud ( Elderberry Flute Song ) attempts, in the title poem, to give readers a sense of the world in terms of this Coyote religion: "A planet was born / in circle around a particular sun. Then / first sound and first life came into being." The godlike Creation made the world, and Coyote is his physical/metaphysical "humble helper." But this right-hand animal is certainly no savior. Although he possesses supernatural powers, he often uses them selfishly or destructively: in "The First Missiles," Coyote steals the water supply from his fellow animals; in "The 60s," he splits himself into a "multitude of Coyotes," driving people out of a party to which he was not invited. The reader is also privy, in "Coyote Erectus Dancing" and "Anthropologitis," to crude, humorless details of Coyote's sexual habits. These pieces mix a stilted, stereotyped Native American language with contemporary jargon, characters and settings, failing to shed any new light on this often misunderstood culture. The amateurish illustrations are by the author. Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.</p>
