In a collage of journal entries, free-verse poems, and renderings of poems in the Acoma language, the renowned Native American poet draws on his life experiences over the past ten years - recalling time spent in academic conferences and writers' colonies, jails and detox centers - to convey something of the personal and cultural history of dislocation.
