A lot of those were by Armand Schwerner. He collected many of them, along
with other american indian texts, in _Redspel_ (Perishable Press), but
good luck finding it and even more paying for it. They were reprinted in
Armand's _Selected Shorter Poems_, which I npublished. There are 7 of them,
one of which is Alaskan. I have very slightly ding'd copies, which I sell
for $5 (cover 16) plus postage. You should have it anyway--it's a great book.
For those of you who know Armand's work, expect an astonishin g posthumous
volume of things he never published. I figure in 2003.
