RaveThe New York Journal of Books... nothing less than a landmark anthology of Native Nations Poetry ... a stunning compendium ... The stunning imagery of these works and humanitarian cry of the \'songs, spells, and prayers\' in this book, are a journey of poetic discovery and virtuosic craft ... Several of the poets are writing both in their ancestral languages juxtaposed next to the English translations, an opportunity to experience the intended full artistry—the rhythms, sounds, and preservation of the tribal storytelling traditions. Their verse, from classical forms to modernist expression, is the antithesis of Euro-centric sensibilities pedagogy ... The poets in this anthology are artists, historians, and keepers of the truths of their heritage, their people, and their lands. These poems are testament to their personal journeys and this collection is transcendent in its authority and eternal power.
