Talisman: A Novel of Amnesia - Paperback

by Jolaoso Prettythunder (Author)

Talisman A Novel of Amnesia is Jolaoso Prettythunder's first complete poetry collection. Her poems are authentic, bold, brave, and unabashed. At the same time, these stories, rooted in nature, take us to shadowy and otherworldly places. Her work has appeared in several anthologies and literary arts journals. Prettythunder lives in the deep woods of Northern California on the native land and home of the Kashaya Pomo with her family and two dogs, Rosie Farstar and Ilumina Holy Dog. She is a farmer, freedom grower, practitioner, and student of herbal medicine and the founder of The Cloud Women's Dream Society, as well as a contributor and publisher of the Cloud Women's Quarterly Journal. She is a well-traveled poet who loves rock, porch swings, pickup trucks, cooking, campfires, lightning, steak, long drives, hot cups of coffee, gathering and making medicine, and singing with friends and family. She is a practitioner of Indigenous Spiritual and healing traditions.
