Description
These poems span twenty-five years in the life of a remarkable individual whose powerful and original voice has made him one of the major writers of Native American literature. From New York City's high steel construction to quiet mountaintops, from Alcatraz to 'this bit of Mohawk territory, encircled by cities, towns, motorway and seaway' that 'cannot be what my ancestors dreamed', Blue Cloud's poems as Gary Snyder states, 'echo the contradictions, political madness and public disasters that mark the late Twentieth Century'. Blue Cloud's out-of-print, American Book Award-Winning 'White Corn Sister' is included in this volume in its entirety.
