I live and write on Lingít Aaní, and gratefully acknowledge the past, present and future caretakers of this beautiful place, the Jilkaat Kwaan and Jilkoot Kwaan.

 Take Good Care of the Garden and the Dogs  is now on sale in Haines at the Babbling Book store. (907)-766-3356. Crazy, but true,  I just signed a few hundred copies. I am as surprised as you are. I’m also scared to death. I wasn’t in town the last time a book came out. I thought I had until the 17th of May to get ready, you know, wash my hair, clean the car. Buy some clothes that look better. Memorize some poetry. Practice being an author. That sort of thing.
