Almost Ashore is a selection of new and nurtured poems. The scenes are sentiments of survivance, and a tease of nature in original haiku poems. The imagistic scenes and associations are similar to the visual images in Anishinaabe, or Chippewa, traditional dream songs, mythic by nature and connected by images of natural reason.
