Book
Off-season city pipe : work / by Allison Adelle Hedge Coke.
"Drawing on her background as a tobacco sharecropper, factory worker, and fisherwoman, poet and memoirist Hedge Coke fills the void of Native American working-class literature with poems as beautiful in their telling as they are powerful in their ethos. Off-Season City Pipe articulates the stark contrast between an ancestry whose work ethic and environmental stewardship defined their communities, but whose children find themselves in a cycle of poverty, persevering in the face of jobs that fail to provide sustenance for the land or its people."--BOOK JACKET.
