About the Author

Ralph Salisbury has shared his family's tales and experiences in seven previous books of prose and poetry. Now in Rainbows of Stone he returns with a collection of poems that interweaves family tales with personal and tribal history. Conjuring images that define his life -- from the vanishing show more farming and hunting traditions with which he was raised to his experiences in World War II as a member of a bomber crew -- he has produced a haunting, powerful work that expresses his devotion to the Cherokee religion and its harmony with the forces of Nature. show less
