"[Momaday] must be ranked among the greatest of our contemporary
writers."-American Scholar "Momaday's poems are rich with
description, lush with dreaming, and filled with magic." - Library
Journal (starred review) From Pulitzer Prize winner and revered
literary master N. Scott Momaday, a beautiful and enchanting new
poetry collection, at once a celebration of language, imagination,
and the human spirit. "Language and the imagination work hand in
hand, and together they enable us to reveal us to ourselves in
story. That is indeed a magical process. . . . We imagine and we
dream, and we translate our dreams into language." -from the
Preface A singular voice in American letters, Momaday's love of
language and storytelling are on full display in this brilliant new
collection comprising one hundred sketches or "dream
drawings"-furnishings of the mind-as he calls them. Influenced by
his Native American heritage and its oral storytelling traditions,
here are prose poems about nature, animals, warriors, and hunters,
as well as meditations that explore themes of love, loss, time, and
memory. Each piece, full of wisdom and wonder, showcases Momaday's
extraordinary lyrical talent, the breadth of his imagination, and
the transformative power of his writing. Dream Drawings is also
illustrated with a selection of black-and-white paintings by
Momaday that capture the spirit of his prose. Poignant, inspired,
and timeless, this is a collection that will nourish the soul.
