She felt torn from me, a ritual undone. . . If anyone knows about grief, it is the artist visionary Dana Tiger.

From this, we have collaborated on a book that is an offering to assist those bearing grief, to help others through to healing in this human journey. We ask that it be done with vnoketkv and vrakkueckv, with a love for people and ongoing respect for this mysterious and beautiful life. Mvto." SIGNED by Harjo on the title.
