'Whether it's through her virtuoso, musical performances, her layered and lyrical song compositions, her stirring vocals that reflect her love and respect for ancient, global traditions, or the evocative storytelling in her fiction, Pan Morigan conjures our world with the skillful hand and mastery of an artist at the height of her powers. These poems represent the five spirits in her mouth, the creative forms she has studied and expanded her whole life. This is a long awaited book of an artist I've greatly admired and enjoyed over these years. What a gift it is to have these original works collected in one volume. Reading these pieces, I hear the call of ancestors, the laughter and joy of human triumphs, large and small, and feel the wonder of a writer whose vision and reimagining of our shared history, myth, and magic cast a spell over us all.' -Sheree Ren e Thomas, author of Dark Matter, 9 Bar Blues: Tales From an Ancient Future, Sleeping Under the Tree of Life, and Shotgun
