About this product

Product Information

"Poetry at its most satirical and courageous. A tremendous book."--Seamus Heaney "Few voices in American literature are so honest and daring."--Mark Strand "One of our most brilliant poets."--Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz "I feel the primal grain and temper of the genuine here."--William Heyen "A lament, a protest, an inextinguishable song."--Sherod Santos "Among the best and most original poets in America."--Stanley Kunitz "Nothing short of splendid."--Robert Nazarene "The kind of energy found in the poems of William Carlos Williams and Gary Snyder."--Joseph Bruchac These poems tell harsh truths of hopelessness and genocide. The confusion of children whose religion is forbidden; the ironic poverty of a lottery winner; an alternate American history in which Columbus turns and sails away--in deceptively simple language, we hear the protest of survivors. "'Indian' is not a derogatory word. It's what we call ourselves." AFTER A SERMON AT THE CHURCH OF INFINITE CONFUSION At ten, Mary Caught-in-Between came home from sunday school, told every animal and bird and fish they couldn't talk anymore, told her drum it couldn't sing anymore, told her feet they couldn't dance anymore, told her words they weren't words anymore, told Raven and Coyote they weren't gods anymore, said god was a starving white man with long hair and blue eyes and a beard who no one loved enough to save when they nailed him to a totem pole. John Smelcer has written over forty books of poetry and prose. He is a member of the Alaskan Ahtna tribe.

Reviews
Smelcer's work is devoted to the double convictions of writing against mainstream culture from a Native American perspective and refuting the stereotypes of old westerns.... A poignant, discomfiting, necessary collection.-- Booklist, review by Diego Bez "Many of the poems are carefully crafted, with the deft brush strokes of an artist.... Others seem almost causal and quick; as if they were images taken on the fly...instantly inspired, quick, rough edged and brutally funny.... Smelcer's poems are for the taking, and he doesn't want them back. They're ours to keep with their satire, outrageously dark humor, and healing doses of pain." --Midwest Book Review, Reviewer's Bookwatch, Smelcer's work is devoted to the double convictions of writing against mainstream culture from a Native American perspective and refuting the stereotypes of old westerns....
