Writer of poetry, essays, memoir, and fiction-Denise Low did what so many of us did in the spring of 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic sent us to spend long days at home. Denise's jigsaw puzzling went well beyond pictures put together piece-by-piece, however. The 15 essays in this book document the pestilence that impacted our entire world. In them, Low explores the very culture of jigsaw puzzles while providing poetic lessons in art, geography, history, and more."I never underestimate the power of a single puzzle piece. It fits within a whole, like each moment of my unfolding life story." -Denise Low

Northern Cheyenne Ledger Art by Fort Robinson Breakout Survivors presents Dodge City ledger-art images and biographies that document a Native perspective at the cusp of reservation life in 1879.

Grandchildren meet their grandparents at the end, Denise Low says, as tragic figures. We remember their decline and deaths.... The story we see as grandchildren is like a garden covered by snow, just outlines visible. Low brings to light deeply held secrets of Native ancestry as she recovers the life story of her Kansas grandfather, Frank Bruner (1889-1963).
