This popular poetry volume expresses Navajo life in its wholeness and sweetness, stressing the colloquial wisdom, humor, and courage of ordinary Navajo people. Some of the text is in Navajo. Joe Bruchac says of the author of this volume, "She presents a wide cast of characters, talking, living, arguing, even dying against the background of a place and a time which are uniquely Native American, yet accessible to a wide range of readers.

Wonderful evocation of Rez life today in the Navajo Nation,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Breeze Swept Through: Poetry (Paperback)
If you are missing the taste of dust and sagebrush or want to here people talking on the rez or see life here made beautiful like a ceremony would do-then read this book. It's funny and makes voices ring in your head.I especialy liked "a descreet conversation" and"raisin eyes" and"Yaadi' La'". If you have never been here it will take you there. Includes some parts of peoms in Navajo. Sa ah Naaghai Bik'eh Hozho
