In this anthology are poetry and stories by people who live in Los Angeles, including several writers who are Tongva and whose ancestors have lived on this land for thousands of years. This book is like a woven basket made of the earth, hands, spirit, heart and patience. The poetry and stories in this anthology carry us on its back through the city, through landscapes of the mind and spirit, through the quiet and the noisy streets, through the joy and the despair of our hearts…home.
