Dark. Sweet.

Dark. Sweet. offers readers the sweep of LindaHogan's workenvironmental and spiritual concerns, her Chickasaw heritagein 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.
