Motion
defines our lives. Within this motion are the many duets we all
experience. These contemporary stories are about those duets: duets
with another person, people, forces, or "sacred" places,
objects and beliefs. Several stories bounce into the spiritworlds
of the Lakota and Chippewa.
The
cover of DUETS is from a painting by an internationally known Chippewa
artist, Roy Thomas, Thunder Bay, Ontario.
