Sitting by the Rapids Albert Dumont

Poetry is the raging rapids and it is the little fish which doesn't give up until the turbulent waters are behind it. Poetry is purpose, renewal and rebirth. Ancestors' Words: My Heart Speaks is all of this and offers insight into the mind of an Indigenous man who lives with severe chronic pain and who found the strength through spirituality and poetry to put a life of alcohol abuse behind him forever.
