Book excerpt: The West found in Linda Hasselstrom's poems is neither the mythical Old West nor the New West of ranchettes and trophy homes. Hasselstrom's aria is set to the rhythms of the authentic West, laced with lyrical realism, and distilled to the sharp crispness of a plains morning. Here you'll find the night heron whose "slender beak descends, a sudden hammer on a silver spine." You'll "give yourself sunsets]]in shades of pink and gold" while "long tatters curl eastward like discarded ribbons."

Book excerpt: The astonishing, powerful debut by the winner of a 2016 Whiting Writers' Award WHEREAS her birth signaled the responsibility as mother to teach what it is to be Lakota therein the question: What did I know about being Lakota? Signaled panic, blood rush my embarrassment. What did I know of our language but pieces? Would I teach her to be pieces? Until a friend comforted, Don’t worry, you and your daughter will learn together. Today she stood sunlight on her shoulders lean and straight to share a song in Diné, her father’s language. To sing she motions simultaneously with her hands; I watch her be in multiple musics. —from “WHEREAS Statements” WHEREAS confronts the coercive language of the United States government in its responses, treaties, and apologies to Native American peoples and tribes, and reflects that language in its officiousness and duplicity back on its perpetrators. Through a virtuosic array of short lyrics, prose poems, longer narrative sequences, resolutions, and disclaimers, Layli Long Soldier has created a brilliantly innovative text to examine histories, landscapes, her own writing, and her predicament inside national affiliations. “I am,” she writes, “a citizen of the United States and an enrolled member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, meaning I am a citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation—and in this dual citizenship I must work, I must eat, I must art, I must mother, I must friend, I must listen, I must observe, constantly I must live.” This strident, plaintive book introduces a major new voice in contemporary literature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Plains Poems in Kansas: And Agriculture, Plant, Prune Spray Flag By J.P. Dunn. I am as red as blood And as white as snow With Brilliant stars Set in a field of blue. I fly o'er lands Where you believe I can I am truly just What you believe I am. I am the day's work Of all women and men And the dream Of the most daring man. I am what you made me In the days a'gone From Bunker Hill Down to Argone. Sometimes I am strong With pride when men Do an honest work With heart and hands. Sometimes I am loud And full of glee I wave for all That you hope to be. My stars and stripes Are your dreams of years The freest land In this hemisphere With a loyal courage And firm in faith For peace on earth I wave tonight.

Book excerpt: In every season, life on America's high plains is at once harsh and beautiful, liberating and isolated, welcoming and unforgiving. The poems of Cloudshade take us through those seasons, illuminating the intersections between the landscapes surrounding us and those inside us. Extraordinarily relatable, the poems of Cloudshade swing wide a door to life in the West, both for lovers of poetry and for those who don't normally read poems. If you've ever waited through five or six months of winter for the first signs of spring, stood outside to feel the first, long-awaited summer rains, caught the wood-smoke and cottonwood scent of fall, or stood on a frozen lake, listening to winter rumbling and heaving through the ice, these poems will carry you back to what is elemental and haunting about life on the high plains.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Striking and moving poems that are rooted deep in the earth The poems of Robert Bly are rooted deep in the earth. Snow and sunshine, barns and cornfields and cars on the empty nighttime roads, abandoned Minnesota lakes and the mood of America now—these are his materials. He sees and talks clearly: he uses no rhetoric nor mannered striving for effect, but instead the simple statement that in nine lines can embody a mood, reveal a profound truth, illuminate in an important way the inward and hidden life. This is a poet of the modern world, thoroughly aware of the complexities of the moment but equally mindful of the great stream of life—all life—of which mankind is only a part.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horsefly Dress is a meditation on the experience and beauty of suffering, questioning its triggers and ultimate purpose through the lens of historical and contemporary interactions and complications of Séliš, Qĺispé, and Christian beliefs. Heather Cahoon’s collection explores dark truths about the world through first-person experiences, as well as the experiences of her family and larger tribal community. As a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, Cahoon crafts poems that recount traditional stories and confront Coyote’s transformation of the world, including his decision to leave certain evils present, such as cruelty, greed, hunger, and death. By weaving together stories of Cahoon’s family and tribal community with those of Coyote and his family, especially Coyote’s daughter, Horsefly Dress, the interactions and shared experiences show the continued relevance of traditional Séliš and Qĺispé culture to contemporary life. Rich in the imagery of autumnal foliage, migrating birds, and frozen landscapes, Horsefly Dress calls forth the sensory experience of grief and transformation. As the stories and poems reveal, the transformative powers associated with the human experience of loss belong to the past, present, and future, as do the traditional Salish-Pend d’Oreille stories that create the backbone of this intricate collection.

Download or read book All that Matters written by Walter McDonald and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These new and selected poems of the West Texas plains are as spare, vital, and impassioned as the people who settled there. Perhaps that is why they underscore so dramatically the surprisingly poetic content of the archival photographs with which they are paired. Rarely has such a collaboration - of history and invention proved so felicitous. Never has a landscape been portrayed in more human terms, nor so arrestingly. McDonald's myriad images - hawks frozen to fence posts during a blizzard; cows grazing during a rain storm; kids following the railroad tracks in search of flattened pennies; ranch hands sitting down to rattlesnake chili; the moon rising over a crowded football stadium; and old men slapping mosquitoes as they fish - are so real they are palpable. Together the photographs and poems are much more than the sum of their parts. All That Matters is a multidimensional tableau of what it took to settle these plains.

Download or read book In Plains Sight written by Bonnie Larson Straiger and published by North Dakota State University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With taut, rigorous technique, Bonnie Larson Staiger tells a love story about the place and people of the northern plains, examining a variety of themes including long-lived relationships and an appreciation of landscape. "Bonnie Larson Staiger's superb new collection of poems is an eloquent language-map of a profound relationship with a particular place-its geography, history, climate, and inhabitants. By turns deeply moving and laugh-out-loud funny, these stunning poems dance us through the terrain of this relationship not of convenience-certainly 'risk-amputation-from-frostbite freaking cold' is anything but convenient-but of clear-eyed commitment. Her poems introduce us to the neighbors: 'the woman who always wears lilac perfume,' the roughneck 'who once found a guy's boots-his feet still inside,' and the meadowlark singing her 'throaty matins.' They show us that to stand rooted, even against 'incessant wind,' brings solace, comfort, and grace." -Kim Noriega, poet, teacher, and author of Name Me"The poems in Staiger's wonderful collection can be read for the pleasure that good poems reliably provide, but this gathering of verse offers an additional satisfaction, especially for readers who share her Great Plains heritage. Poem after poem provides a sense, both historical and experiential, of what it means to be from that part of the world where the power of the earth and its seasons are always on display." -Larry Watson, poet and author of Montana 1948, Let Him Go, As Good As Gone, and other novels.
