Book synopsis

This new collection of poetry from Maurice Kenny explores identity, honors nature, and celebrates everyday life. Modern life is described, while Native American culture is glimpsed, ghost-like, on the margins. Natural bounty -- flowers, fruits -- is extolled and welcomed. The simplest things -- the arrival of the first blueberries or a field of dandelions -- are praised with gratitude. Friendships, letters, love lost and found are all treated with reverence and delicacy. Spirituality as a way of life, respect for nature, sharing with others within an extended family, living in the present -- these traditional Native values are represented in Kenny's work. These poems are the essence of a Native American way of life.
