Elderberry Flute Song: Contemporary Coyota Tales

These Coyote tales are funny, profound, sometimes sad, and always wise. Blue Cloud's style and power have made this book a classic. These tales take coyote from his mythic beginnings to the present in stories that show his enduring vitality.

"Blue Cloud's poems are living proof that the power and beauty of the Old Way cannot be lost. . . . Blue Cloud does nothing glamorous: he speaks from his own heart and life. He is a true poet, at home in all times, everywhere." --Gary Snyder
