Description

Kenneth Rosen's haunting volume of poetry proves that the powerful and moving voice of Native Americans must be heard. More than two hundred poems embrace anguish, pride, and hope, representing twenty-four tribal affiliations, including, Sioux, Pawnee, Choctaw, Seminole, Laguna Pueblo, Cherokee, Anishinabe, Mohawk, Seneca, and Seminole. An Indian leader once asked a U.S. president: "What visions, under the white man's way, are offered that will cause today's children to want tomorrow to come?" In a sense, each poem in this volume is an attempt to confront and answer that very question.
