Dark. Sweet.

Dark. Sweet. offers readers the sweep of LindaHogan's work--environmental and spiritual concerns, her Chickasaw heritage--in spare, elemental, visionary language.

From "Those Who Thunder":

Those who thunder

have dark hair

and red throw rugs.

They burn paper in bathroom sinks.

Their voices refuse to suffer

and their silences know the way

straight to the heart;

it's bus route number eight.
