This narrative work delves into the intersection of the human experience and American history, specifically focusing on the Grand Canyon and the indigenous tribes residing there. Blending songs, ceremonies, and concrete imagery, the poem acts as a profound call for spiritual and environmental regeneration. Wofford, a distinguished painter and academic, leverages his deep artistic background to craft a text that captures the vivid landscapes and cultural heritage of the American Southwest. Published by Barlenmir House in 1972, this first edition serves as both a literary exploration and a tribute to the tribes of America. The work reflects the author's academic tenure and international life experience, offering readers a unique, painterly perspective on American geography and its enduring, ancient
