A trans-cultural experience of the search for identity, highly recommended.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Award-winning Native Canadian poet Louise Bernice Halfe presents The Crooked Good, a journey through elements of personhood, history, and myth. Drawing upon both aboriginal themes and the author's life experience as a mediator between cultures, the free-verse poetry of The Crooked Good evokes the feel of a mystic experience in which the words of one's ancestors reverberate through generations. A trans-cultural experience of the search for identity, highly recommended. "Pandora": Today I opened a box. / I wanted to know what I'm made of. // Stones. Feathers. Bones. Skins. / I don't understand this. / I greet each one as they caress / my face, my fingers, my eyes- / lay them tenderly in order, size, family.
