Winner of 1999 Pen Oakland Award "This is a man with much to say, who carries important teachings, and whose heart beats a compassionate rhythm." -Rick McBride, Tsalagi - Cherokee, Medicine Wheel, ceremony & Lifeways teacher, website editor at www.mxblood.com "Voyages to Ancestral Islands is a journal of a journey exploring memories and impressions of a searching life. The search is over and the poet moves now to fertile fields, awaiting untold stories filled with new memory." -Tom Ekkens, Pacifica poet, photographer and artist
