The Immortal Ipetlatah and Other Stories

Description

Three literary, magical-realism SHORT STORIES totalling 5700 words. "The Immortal Ipetlatah" tells of the strange transmigration of a spirit who lived eons in Fort Rock, a volcanic oddity in Southeast Oregon desert, and his symbiosis with natives and other living creatures until wagon trains rolled into his sacred maar. "The Afghan" is a mystical tale blending age and memory and wishes by a ship's captain at sea, and an Irish girl he once loved. "Bird of Summer, Bird of Winter" is a tale of anguish and depression ended with a blinding epiphany of life's beauty.
