Ă propos de ce livre
Timely, important, mischievous, powerful: in a word, exceptional
Seventy-seven poems intended as a eulogy for what we have squandered, a reprimand for all we have allowed, a suggestion for what might still be salvaged, a poetic quarrel with our intolerant and greedy selves, a reflection on mortality and longing, as well as a long-running conversation with the mythological currents that flow throughout North America.

As for the garden,
Adam,
after the Fall.
Make no mistake, he said,
we will destroy it all.
2
Okay.
Letâs try this again.
And so you donât make
the same mistake twice,
Adam was just a joke
the Otters made up
to annoy the Ducks.
And it was a Turtle,
please pay attention,
not a garden.
3
Set the running days in line,
tie down the wind.
Mark mountains out with minor tones,
dig up the stories,
paint the bones,
the snow is on the ground.
4
And so weâre clear,
in the beginning
there was nothing.
Just the water.
Okay, so there were water birds
and some water animals as well.
Okay, and the Turtle.
Okay, okay, and the light in the western heavens
that was not a star
but a falling woman
slicing through the sky
like a bright knife.
5
I bite my nails.
I fold toilet paper into squares,
wipe once
then fold again.
Raccoons no longer rent movies.
At the airport, Americans took my nail file
but theyâll sell guns to anyone.
I should lose weight.
Somewhere a child is being comforted by her father.
On the off-chance the world will end tomorrow,
I have begun to read the minor poets.
But there is no hope.

Coyote goes to the doctor
to get tested.
You have had Adverse Childhood Experiences,
says the doctor.
That would explain why Iâm so mischievous,
says Coyote.
That would explain why I donât learn quickly.
That would explain why I canât control my emotions.
That would explain why I mess up the world.
That will be three hundred and thirty dollars,
says the doctor.
That would explain why I wonât pay you,
says Coyote.
Iâve had Adverse Childhood Experiences,
Coyote tells all his friends.
Can they be cured? says Beaver.
Can they be treated? says Bear.
Letâs hope you wonât be like this
for the rest of your life, says Turtle.
Iâm sure Social Services will be able to help me,
says Coyote.
All the animals laugh and agree
that this is one of Coyoteâs better jokes.

Somewhere in space
a missile platform
lingers in orbit.
Bored.
Wondering, in its perfect solitude,
how hard it would be
to bring down a star.
8
There are no good jobs in the slaughterhouse.
Those with the knives....
