Torn Sky, Debra Nystrom

$12.95

The landscape of Torn Sky is South Dakota, a place of extremes where parched land meets frigid air, where exiled Native Americans still struggle to live in peace alongside ranchers. Nystom's poems weave together the voices of her childhood with ghosts of the last two tumultuous centuries and articulate with such subtle and unsentimental grace that each side is understood.
