Abstract

"Be they Salish or Carrier, Cree or Shoshone, Algonquin or Micmac, the thirty-four Canadian Indian poets represented here have something in common—they are forging new language and new visions. Some poems are rooted in traditional oratory, storytelling and religion; some are political, decrying poverty, disease and violence; others are as experimental as concrete poetry. All are rich in challenge, for these poets have learned the limitations of white culture and returned to take what they find best from their heritage."--Back cover.
