Circles in the Wind

Circles in the Wind is a creative nonfiction memoir of the "back to the land" movement of the 1970s and the counterculture of the late 1960s. The novel documents the wanderings of Red Dawge, Blackjack, and Memphis Dennis across the country from commune to commune, hobo camps, and remote mountain hideaways. From the story of the Rainbow hippies to the loner Houndog Tom, the novel weaves an intricate tapestry of the life and times of those who sought a different existence from the mainstream. The story moves through time and space, from tipi to hogan to earth lodge, from hitchhike to freight train to horseback, circling back its own beginning and becoming the dj vu.
