Motion defines our lives. Within this motion are the many duets we all experience. These contemporary stories are about those duets: duets with another person, people, forces, or "sacred" places, objects and beliefs. Several stories bounce into the spiritworlds of the Lakota and Chippewa.

The cover of DUETS is from a painting by an internationally known Chippewa artist, Roy Thomas, Thunder Bay, Ontario.
