Sacred Flute

By John C Mannone

Sacred Flute is a collection of poems infused with and inspired by Native American Indian culture, history and legend, and are not necessarily redactions-these poems are transcendent of that.

This collection focuses on Native American nations on the North American continent.

An association to a particular Native American nation is made whenever possible. In many cases, the poems were directly influenced by those traditions of the represented Native American nations, but in other cases when it was less clear, the sentiment was recognized as American Indian and an appropriate connection was sought and found. Each major section is also introduced by the such. At times, the connection is made through an epigraph or in the body of the poem, at other times, it is through a postscript.

Bibliographic and Internet sources that have influenced and/or informed these poems are cross-referenced with bracketed numbers in the body of work.

Attempts have been made to at least capture the major Native American nations, either directly or through their language groups.
