Your entire family can enjoy listening to this preserved collection of my writings from 1968-1975, from 7th grade to just after high school. Some are poems, some songs, some just thoughts with a rhythmic pattern.

For most of us Indian Love Poetry tends to be the erotic and explicit Kama Sutra and The Perfumed Garden.

His father (thought to have been hanged at Mankato, Minnesota) reappeared and insisted he receive the white man's education.
