"He was a poet of the first order, a humorist, a philosopher, a man
of affairs. He achieved fame as an English-Indian dialect writer
and journalist. He was the leading man of the Creeks and the one
great man produced by the Confederacy known as the Five Civilized
Tribes." Published posthumously in 1910, The Poems of Lawrence
Alexander Posey both a collection of poetry and short memoir by one
of the late nineteenth century's leading Native American voices,
Alexander Posey. Born near Eufaula, Posey was the eldest of twelve
children who were raised within the Creek Nation but incorporated
into European culture. Being fluent in the Muscogee language, Posey
would be encouraged by his father to learn English, ultimately
leading to his love of the written word and his exposure to the
Indian Journal where he would go on to submit his poetry.
Professionally typeset with a beautifully designed cover, this
edition of The Poems of Alexander Lawrence Posey is a classic of
Native American literature reimagined for the modern reader.
