About Native Voices: Indigenous American Poetry, Craft
Product Description This groundbreaking anthology of Indigenous poetry and prose, including a diverse collection of Native poems, stories, and essays, is a celebration of culture and the possibilities of language. Native Voices: Indigenous American Poetry, Craft and Conversation is informed with a knowledge of both what has been lost and what is being restored. This diverse collection offers a range of stories told by Indigenous writers about themselves, their histories, and their present. These are voices that have long deserved a chance to be heard, and are sorely needed in today’s modern world. This must-have anthology is what the editors call, “not only a study of the art of poetry and of the poems but an examination of what it means to be Native and to be from what is now called the United States.” Native Voices is both a resource for classrooms and a book for lovers of poetry and culture. Discover new voices and new perspectives that reveal a “wall that stands a long, long time” and fill in the “space of erasure” that Native voices have for so long occupied. Along with a selection of resonant work chosen from previous generations of Native artists, this stunning collection features forty-four poets, including Ishmael Hope, Bojan Louis, Ruby Murray, Simon Ortiz, Leslie Marmon Silko, Luci Tapahonso, Joy Harjo, dg okpik, Sherwin Bitsui, Heid E. Erdrich, Layli Long Soldier, and Orlando White. Including original influence essays by Diane Glancy on Lorca, Chrystos on Audre Lorde, Louise Erdrich on Elizabeth Bishop, LeAnne Howe on W. D. Snodgrass, Allison Hedge Coke on Delmore Schwartz, Suzanne Rancourt on Ai, and M. L. Smoker on Richard Hugo, among others. Native Voices was praised for its collection of contemporary Indigenous voices. “The depth of my thinking and the toolkit of craft was so rich after reading these offerings,” writes one reviewer. This anthology is a truly synergetic collection of contemporary and early Native voices.
