Poetry. Few people are in motion as much and as often as American Indians. Travel is, of course, more than recreation or even a way of life for American Indian people. Journeys were and remain a way of staying in touch with our first mother, the Earth. They're a result of seeing home as not just a place surrounded by human-made walls, but anywhere we find ourselves between Earth and Sky...Lee Francis's ON THE GOOD RED INTERSTATE is firmly within the tradition of American Indian "tribal travel poetry," [passing] effortlessly back and forth between past and present, between east and west, and between the worlds of the author's ancestors--Indian and non-Indian alike"--Joe Bruchac. Lee Francis is the National Director of Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers and Storytellers.Lee Francis is the author of 'On the Good Red Interstate', published 2002 under ISBN 9780931552120 and ISBN 0931552125.
