Circles in the Wind is a poetic chronicle of the "back to the land" movement of the 1970s and the counterculture of the late 1960s. The novel documents the wanderings of Blackjack, Red Dawge, and Memphis Dennis across the country, from commune to commune, through hobo camps, and into remote mountain hideaways. From the story of the Rainbow hippies to the loner Houndog Tom and the gardens of Gentle Rain, the novel weaves an intricate tapestry of the life and times of those who sought an existence outside the mainstream. The stories move through time and space, circling back to their own beginnings, and becoming the Deja Vu.
