Woody's strength lies in her ability to recognize connections to specific places that also define her relationship to a region. Through her work, non-Native readers can learn to see through popular misinterpretations of Native cultures that are often mistaken for truth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In opening remarks, Woody shares anecdotes of her youth that contributed to her sense of personal history and her development as a poet. \"The petroglyphs on rock in the Columbia River Gorge are part of my literary heritage,\" she writes.
