Thoughtful and passionate, this imaginative collection of poetry
explores the many facets of the aboriginal individual. Through
meticulously crafted portraits, lyrics, satires, mythologies, and
meditations, these poems discuss issues related to perception,
desire, youth, and aging as they relate to native life.
Tricksters, medicine shows, and ghosts are some of the story
elements discussed in this collection of essays about First Nations
Canadian authors. Posing questions about how such folklore adds to
the country's collective memory, the essays look at Ben Cardinal's
"No Name Indians and Generic Warriors;" Tomson Highway's "The Sage,
the Dancer and the Fool; "Billy Merasty's "Fireweed; "Beatrice
Mosionier's "Night of the Trickster;" and Floyd Favel Starr's" Lady
of Silences. "An eye-opening look at Native Canadians as they
negotiate their way through white culture, the book also offers
insights on Native Americans in similar predicaments in movie
westerns and the musical "Oklahoma!"
The poet's first offering in a decade, this collection is a rich
exploration of loss and longing, celebrating art, culture, and
two-spirited identity through poems that are rich in sound and
sense.
