Poetry. Native American Studies. Having developed an impressive
reputation for his many novels and nonfiction works, Richard
Wagamese now presents a collection of stunning poems ranging over a
broad landscape. He begins with an immersion in the unforgettable
world where "the ancient ones stand at your shoulder...making you a
circle / containing everything." These are Medicine teachings told
from the experience of one who lived and still lives them. He also
describes his life on the road when he repeatedly ran away at an
early age, and the beatings he received when the authorities tried
"to beat the Indian right out of me." Yet even in the most
desperate situations, Wagamese shows us Canada as seen through the
eyes and soul of a well-worn traveller, with his love of country,
his love of people. Through it all, there are poems of love and
music, the language sensuous and tender.
