Snap your fingers, move your hips, step high, then low, then turn around. Keep the rhythm. It all matters. We are all keeping time and so are the trees, the waters, the earth, just a different kind of time than the Doomsday Clock. Rena Priest's new collection of poetry provides wisdom, humor, and the right words to accompany us in this spiral of becoming through this age of
hypercontradictions. Her compassion is contagious. You will need this book to help make it through to the next dance.
- Joy Harjo, 23rd Poet Laureate of the United States
Where does the soul reside? Where does love begin? What has grown out of what has gone away? Are we miracles? These are just a few inquiries presented in Rena Priest's introspective and illuminative collection Dancing to the Ticking of the Doomsday Clock. These poems are brimming with both celebration and lament, wit and wisdom, the everyday and the profound, offering Lummi world views, songs, dances, and stories as prayer maps connecting us to this world and places beyond.
- Tiffany Midge, author of Dreamcatcher in the Wry and Horns
