{"product_id":"poems-for-the-lost-deer-robin-h-lysne-9780977864546","title":"Poems for the Lost Deer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe following poems have been largely taken from facts about an incident that occurred in 2007 and 2008, and began many years\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebefore. In the 1920's the San Francisco Zoo brought Axis deer (from the Ceylon Islands, East India) and Fallow deer (from Mediterranean, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersia and Eurasia) to San Francisco. In 1947-49 they sold their over-populations to Dr. Millard Ottinger, a rancher who owned a large track of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eland on Pt.Reyes peninsula in Marin County, California just north of San Francisco.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of these poems are from found language from actual articles written over a period of thirty years from 1974 until 2008. Some documentation comes from National Park Service (NPS) website, including the Pt. Reyes National Seashore website and from the White Buffalo, Inc. website listed in the back on the List of Sources page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReferences to Native American language and culture are not intended appropriations of language or culture, but come authentically from my experience of the last thirty years with various tribal groups who have generously taught me some of their language, allowed me to dance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein their sacred dances, and who have shared with me the values, that they knew I also shared with them. If there are any errors in these references\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethey are my own. All tribal references other than Lakota, have been found in books, or on websites and are replicated commonly, and all references\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eare noted in the back of the book in the end pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy intention in this book is to honor those who fought, raised awareness, and loved the deer. The balance of the voices heard in these\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epages is about the percentage of the people for and against the deer in the story. I hope in some small way, it questions the policies of invasive\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003especies created by the National Park Service. But most of all, I wish to honor the magical deer that lived in Pt. Reyes before the National\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeashore was even developed as a national park.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe following poems have been previously published: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Writing without Walls\", on-line reading and print journal February, 2012: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Don't shoot I'm white and non-native\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpedition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLost Deer revised from publication\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSamizdat Literary Journal On-line and print journal January, 2010\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShoulder Blade\" drawing\/poem\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin H.
