I just know you're going to enjoy "Good Medicine," available now.  But don't take my word for it.  Check out Rick Huff's review:

“Among Indian peoples, the word ‘medicine’ carries a special metaphysical importance. In that context the good doctor has indeed brought us ‘Good Medicine’ in this, his first published collection. This is a book you’ll likely return to again and again. Despite Doc Mehl’s subtitle ‘Read Two Poems and Call Me in the Morning,’ you may be sorely tempted to overdose on Doc’s observant sophistication and amazing storytelling. Doc has provided notes on the genesis of each work, an added bonus since there is a consistent originality of perspective here. You’ll find brilliance in these pages. Ninety-five poems on 206 pages, very highly recommended."  - Rick Huff (The Western Way, Winter 2021)
