Twelve Klamath origin myths

$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

The twelve origin myths of the Klamath Basin, as Kemush carries them — witness, mediator, memory. A reader's edition of The Book of Spirals by H. L. Delaney. The twelve origin myths of the Klamath Basin, told whole — from the obsidian dark before time to the threshold of memory. Spirals of Kemush carries the complete, unabridged text of The Book of Spirals by H. L. Delaney (Basalt Sea Press, 2025), paired with 190 panels of painterly artwork, sequenced for a tablet. Every word is verbatim from the published book. Across twelve spirals, Kemush — witness, mediator, the memory of the world — breathes against the first Darkness and walks the world that follows: the rising of the Cascade peaks, the long bargain between people and the land, the kinship struck under storm and fire. Each spiral is a single arc — Origin, Illusion, Change, Wind, Hunger, Kinship, Buffalo, Pride, Mountain, Storm, Purpose, Memory — presented one panel at a time, in the obsidian-and-ember palette of the original book. — READING — • 190 illustrated panels across twelve spirals • The complete book, unabridged • Hand-curated layout and pacing for tablet reading • Optional read-aloud using your device's system voice • Works fully offline — once installed, no internet required — PRIVACY — • No accounts.

Delaney writes literary fiction and mythic realism rooted in the landscapes, histories, and memory traditions of the Klamath Basin. A member of the Klamath Confederated Tribes, he lives in the shadow of Crater Lake. His work has been recognized with the Calvino and Princemere Prizes. The twelve stories here are a telling. Creation stories carried across generations have always been told by different speakers, in different circumstances, shaped by what each telling needs to convey. Variation is not corruption of the tradition. Variation is the tradition. The Maklaks story is held by two communities today — the Klamath Confederated Tribes of Oregon and the Modoc Nation of Oklahoma. — PUBLISHER — Basalt Sea Press · Klamath Basin, Oregon
