The Truth About Stories: A Native Narrative
The poem ends:
“Elwood told that STORY to the Rotary Club
in town
and everyone laughed and says what
a STUPID Coyote.
And that’s the problem, you know,
seeing the DIFFERENCE between stupidity
and greed.”
With a little autobiography and some sharp observations, The Truth About Stories is seductive, entertaining and sneakily profound.
