What Americans refer to as Indian Summer is the season of warmth after the first frost, a season the native Algonquians viewed as a gift from the creator-God Cautantowwit, whose heavenly court was situated, you guessed it, in the same southwestern region of the united states she'd been trying to run to. Indian Summer is a story of harvests. Artistic and otherwise. Each raw, original collection chronicled a season in that poetic, 21st century courtly love affair that extended the heat wave of Cautantowwit's Indian Summer into the far reaches of the following year. This volume showcases an assortment from each book of poetry. ...From the headiness of tasting true love for the first time to the eventual purging of all the scar tissue still inside that blocks one from fully experiencing that love, Cautantowwit (Indian Summer) is a portrait of an artist untwisting dysfunctional ideas about the reality of love in order to receive all God has for her in regards to it.
