Description: [From the Afterword, p 151:] The poems in I HEAR THE COYOTE are generally (but not in all instances) presented in the sequence in which they were composed. A notable instance of deviation from chronology, for instance, would be "How the World Was Created," first in the collection owing to its subject matter, but actually written as a prose poem in 1979, for inclusion in a novel entitled THE MEDICINE CALF. The next half dozen poems are retrospectives, and after those I have placed "Steephollow," the first draft of which I wrote that day by the streamside [summer 1960].
