Book Description
The Tree of Life The tree of life is so like man, ever stretching to the skies Its branches ever reaching upwards, as though to heaven above Like mans quest here on earth, to reach for that high unknown The tree requires the staples of life, for its very existence here But man in his slight wisdom, knows these details all too clear The tree roots, securely planted, are not allowed to roam But mans feet here on earth. Have mobility all their own Unlike the tree, man does possess a single separate entity A brain you see, though seldom used, a total shame indeed The tree of life depends on man, for its daily lifes survival Man depends on his own lifes skills to hopefully see his tomorrow Which is a sad virtue, for his thinking process is not always clear He makes good and bad decisions, its effects are not yet known Man should take his lifes lessons, from the tree of life pursuit As our single lifes true purpose, to reach for heaven above As the tree stretches forth its limbs, ever skyward, in its growth We should heed this very lesson, and praise the Lord above For all that He has done for mankind and this our earth as well

Book Description
In writing this book, I had wanted to explore my thoughts and beliefs as to why I always felt that I was given a number at birth? Was this strictly in my imaginary mind and not to be considered real? Is there anybody else that feels the same way as I do? Was it just pure luck, coincidence, fate, or a guardian angel that was looking after me? Why had I escaped death on several occasions? Was it my own quick thinking process and reaction time that was my salvation? Could it possibly be a higher power imposing HIS will on my body and its destruction time table then quickly interceding? I couldn't for the life of me, figure out why in the eminent fate that was to befall me, that I had escaped it grasp? I couldn't figure out why I had a near death experience, on several occasions, only still to be here? Was not my number up yet? Was there a Divine power controlling my life's time table? I needed to realize if I was unique in this experience or was it happening to others as well, as surely logic and common sense would say that this is the case. In looking into this quest I discovered not only had other people had near death experiences but also other people had actually died. They had came back to life only to tell of the wonderful experience and the site and the people who had passed on previously from their life and how it all seemed so real. Is this the circle of life after death that we all hope for, the connection to eternal life?

Book Description
A book-length poem about how an American Indian writer can’t bring himself to write about nature, but is forced to reckon with colonial-white stereotypes, manifest destiny, and his own identity as an young, queer, urban-dwelling poet. A Best Book of the Year at BuzzFeed, Interview, and more. Nature Poem follows Teebs—a young, queer, American Indian (or NDN) poet—who can’t bring himself to write a nature poem. For the reservation-born, urban-dwelling hipster, the exercise feels stereotypical, reductive, and boring. He hates nature. He prefers city lights to the night sky. He’d slap a tree across the face. He’d rather write a mountain of hashtag punchlines about death and give head in a pizza-parlor bathroom; he’d rather write odes to Aretha Franklin and Hole. While he’s adamant—bratty, even—about his distaste for the word “natural,” over the course of the book we see him confronting the assimilationist, historical, colonial-white ideas that collude NDN people with nature. The closer his people were identified with the “natural world,” he figures, the easier it was to mow them down like the underbrush. But Teebs gradually learns how to interpret constellations through his own lens, along with human nature, sexuality, language, music, and Twitter. Even while he reckons with manifest destiny and genocide and centuries of disenfranchisement, he learns how to have faith in his own voice.
