She published a number of writings (non-fiction, novels, poems, and plays) that are the fruit of her study of American Indian culture in the Mojave Desert. The texts for this work are drawn from her collection The American Rhythm (1923), which contains what she termed \"re-expressions\" in English based on American Indian sources and ideas. Her work thus consists largely of new poems that partake of both style and character of the sources. Austin also believed that aspects of American Indian culture were in danger of being lost and should thus be preserved via writings. with the publication of The American Rhythm, she urged fellow writers to take on these styles of songs and poems as models for their own writing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zimbel Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44533420818511,"sku":"80101658","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/126f79e3d7c96335f832925e2cb672f2.jpg?v=1772469458","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/products\/cooman-rain-songs-zimbel","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
