Book excerpt: The West found in Linda Hasselstrom's poems is neither the mythical Old West nor the New West of ranchettes and trophy homes. Hasselstrom's aria is set to the rhythms of the authentic West, laced with lyrical realism, and distilled to the sharp crispness of a plains morning. Here you'll find the night heron whose "slender beak descends, a sudden hammer on a silver spine." You'll "give yourself sunsets]]in shades of pink and gold" while "long tatters curl eastward like discarded ribbons."

Book excerpt: The astonishing, powerful debut by the winner of a 2016 Whiting Writers' Award WHEREAS her birth signaled the responsibility as mother to teach what it is to be Lakota therein the question: What did I know about being Lakota? Signaled panic, blood rush my embarrassment. What did I know of our language but pieces? Would I teach her to be pieces? Until a friend comforted, Don’t worry, you and your daughter will learn together. Today she stood sunlight on her shoulders lean and straight to share a song in Diné, her father’s language. To sing she motions simultaneously with her hands; I watch her be in multiple musics. —from “WHEREAS Statements” WHEREAS confronts the coercive language of the United States government in its responses, treaties, and apologies to Native American peoples and tribes, and reflects that language in its officiousness and duplicity back on its perpetrators. Through a virtuosic array of short lyrics, prose poems, longer narrative sequences, resolutions, and disclaimers, Layli Long Soldier has created a brilliantly innovative text to examine histories, landscapes, her own writing, and her predicament inside national affiliations. “I am,” she writes, “a citizen of the United States and an enrolled member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, meaning I am a citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation—and in this dual citizenship I must work, I must eat, I must art, I must mother, I must friend, I must listen, I must observe, constantly I must live.” This strident, plaintive book introduces a major new voice in contemporary literature.

Download or read book Earth Always Endures written by Neil Philip and published by Viking Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 1996 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eloquent new anthology gives a vivid insight into the world of Native Americans. The chants, prayers, and songs in these pages vibrate with wisdom, joy, and terrible sadness. Underlying everything is a sense of the sacred - the wish, as one Yokuts poet says, to be "one with the world". The sixty poems in this collection are accompanied by over forty unforgettable duotone photographs by Edward S. Curtis. This stunning combination of word and image brings us closer than ever before to the heart of Native American traditions. The poems come from the woodlands, the plains, the deserts, and the pueblos. They speak of love, of war, of the known and the unknowable. Today's flowering of new writing by Native Americans has revived interest in the song traditions that underlie their work. This anthology aims to give a representative selection of the best of those traditions, from Maine to California.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From African Plains to American Ways: New Era Poems. As a child I observed adults and teenagers languishing in agony of hate and mistrust. Ever since then I have not stopped been amazed by the emptiness of human relations. The treatment people receive from fellow human being still remains tantamount to animalism. Perturbed and at times flabbergasted by human ignorance, I see now that nature is gradually dying, cultures heading for extinction and retrenching in alarming rate. Bolstered by all these events and as a student of human condition, I have created this potpourri of poetry book titled: "From African Plains to American Ways:New Era Poems," to highlight the conflicting natural phenomena in the land of the homosapiens for general connsumption. People, look around, and you will discover that world Philosophies are being distorted or obliterated from human imagination on daily basis. Many vises and unnecessary issues providence gave for our happy existence are being chased around, and confusion, chaos, and anarchy are growing and sanity is being clobbered to craziness world over. The stage for public dialogue fashioned on this poetic fit is assured. When the world is melting away under the human weight and wastes, greed, hatred, selfishness, appalling human conditions, exacerbated by victimizers, we mustn't fold our hands and watch and feeling pity for ourselves. We must fight back! This book of New Era Poems brings an aroma of creative debate to divert our ineptitude by romancing our human senses for positive action. This book of poems was written to reprogram the past-gone-crazy lifestyles so prevalent and pervading our order of reasoning. The horrendous events the world is now experiencing are not only demoralizing and hazardously disturbing; the ideas being generated by decaying human morals of present times are alarming. Yet, New Era Poems book is designed to recreate new life full of joy and humor in people's lives. Imagine! This book is broken into three sections of Cultural, Natural and Philosophical Rituals. There are enough creatures of poems in this book woven to go around for any type of mood desires life might dish out any moment for you--the reader: For instance, when you're feeling in high gear in life, reading "Wind and Breeze Colliding In My Shoes." It'd send you feeling like you are skiing in cloud-seven; it's full of life imageries and imaginations. If you're swimming in the ocean of love, try reading "Value of Love," it will sweeten up your day. If you want to talk about world events, "Soaring Bird of Bride" will lifts you higher and higher; and many, many more hot poems and prose, painted in colorful beauty of nature and intelligent design; all will brighten your every chosen moment. This artistic phantom and pigmented linguistic writing showcase, filled with parade of rhythms, sandwiched in fictional thrillers of words and stories, designed in captivating folklores of modern prose and poems are delicious! All ideas and knowledge, all messages in this poems are coated with powerful imaginations. The foundation this book of New Era Poems is built on is a concrete loaded with artwork heralding good feelings and otherwise lamenting wasteful intelligence providence bestowed in humans in the beginning of time in the form of family ties, bravery, friendship, love and choices. "From African Plains to American Ways" is a poetry book like you have never read. It is juicy and it can intoxicate! Reading these poems and prose will give you much doses of cheers, motivation, inspiration, elevation of issues for you to think about for your soul and spirit, while at the same time dishes out inciting, provoking educated political debates and awareness about the way we live. As a result of the marriage of ideas long celebrated between the United States of America and Motherland Africa, many Africans are yet to be liberated from naivete foreign domination!

Download or read book View from True North written by Sara Henning and published by Southern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-22 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these edgy poems of witness, Sara Henning’s speaker serves as both conduit and curator of the destructive legacies of alcoholism and multigenerational closeting. Considering the impact of addiction and sexual repression in the family and on its individual members, Henning explores with deft compassion the psychological ramifications of traumas across multiple generations. With the starling as an unspoken trope for victims who later perpetuate the cycle of abuse, suffering and shame became forces dangerous enough to down airliners. The strands Henning weaves—violent relationships, the destructive effects of long-term closeting, and the pall that shame casts over entire lives—are hauntingly epiphanic. And yet these feverish lyric poems find a sharp beauty in their grieving, where Rolling Stone covers and hidden erotic photographs turn into talismans of regret and empathy. After the revelation that her deceased grandfather was a closeted homosexual “who lived two lives,” Henning considers the lasting effects of shame in regard to the silence, oppression, and erasure of sexual identity, issues that are of contemporary concern to the LGBTQIA community. Even through “the dark / earth encircling us,” Henning’s speaker wonders if there isn’t some way out of a place “where my body / is just another smoke-stung / dirge of survival,” if, in the end, love won’t be victorious. Part eyewitness testimony, part autoethnography, this book of memory and history, constantly seeking and yearning, is full of poems “too brutal and strange to suffer / [their] way anywhere but home.”
