Let wash. We wee humans need images adequate to hold us open into this earth body of ours, and here they are, written out. Spaced. Placed. Hoarse cawed.

Dreams. darlene's. alex's. mine. yours, readers. Watch out, though. These possessive cases can easily betray us. These words and their readings are co-inhabitants with the full scatters and splays of breaths, of wonders. These seeds up yesterday morning, little heralds. Listen. This book will help you smell the sun in them. Let the spaces last exactly as long as you need. Slow over them. Let them be exacting. Me. My grandson in arms. Me in his, too. Look! Crow. Bear.

Here, one can dream themselves alive as they say, and ruminate in layers of wisdom and insight where the ancestors' live and hope resides. This poetic book is a journey in and of itself where an aesthetic sensibility touches the heart and reminds one that place is imbedded within mystery and keeps calling us home to awe.

Evocative drawings alongside the spare poetic text create mirrored, shadowed lives-giving testimony and bearing witness. \"Not everything that goes \/ leaves a trail\" st. georges and fidyk write, concluding \"we need more Storytellers.\" In this gorgeous hybrid format, these lyrical sister-voices give shape to that process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Laura Apol\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eA Fine Yellow Dust\u003c\/em\u003e, winner of the Midwest Book award for poetry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this visualpoetic creation story, darlene st. georges and alexandra fidyk pay homage to Bear Woman and Crow Mother.

This evocation deepens our connection with earth and sky, waking and dreaming, inner and outer worlds. And we emerge humbled and humane. \"Calling the Ancestors-\" and at once the \"Ancestors are calling-\" Images of Crow and Bear spaciously move with words and phrases to create a powerful sense of renewal. \"Unearthing tongues between worlds,\" \u003cem\u003eSisters of Protectress\u003c\/em\u003e draws on creation-centred and Jungian insights.
