Publisher Description: Poetry at its most satirical and courageous. A tremendous book.--Seamus Heaney Few voices in American literature are so honest and daring.--Mark Strand One of our most brilliant poets.--Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz I feel the primal grain and temper of the genuine here.--William Heyen A lament, a protest, an inextinguishable song.--Sherod Santos Among the best and most original poets in America.--Stanley Kunitz Nothing short of splendid.--Robert Nazarene The kind of energy found in the poems of William Carlos Williams and Gary Snyder.--Joseph Bruchac These poems tell harsh truths of hopelessness and genocide. The confusion of children whose religion is forbidden; the ironic poverty of a lottery winner; an alternate American history in which Columbus turns and sails away--in deceptively simple language, we hear the protest of survivors. 'Indian' is not a derogatory word. It's what we call ourselves. AFTER A SERMON AT THE CHURCH OF INFINITE CONFUSION At ten, Mary Caught-in-Between John Smelcer has written over forty books of poetry and prose. He is a member of the Alaskan Ahtna tribe. |
