Dream Transfer and Wander Elaine Dugas Shea

Authored by established poet Elaine Dugas Shea, "Dream Transfer and Wander" is a poetry book of 45 pass-through poems (from dreams and travel) that transports readers to American Indian and Alaska Native tribal communities, ocean beaches, paths less taken, and sacred places. The collection is ideal for reflection on life journeys. The book is divided into four sections which can be read in any order: spirit above water, zip code, tribal, and zip--the latter devoted to poetry about speed, Harley Davidson motorcycles, and wild abandon. Dugas Shea's poetry has been widely anthologized from both her personal and professional life experience. A Montana resident since 1972, she has been a civil rights worker, teacher, Head Start tribal specialist, city council person, mother, and grandmother.
