Description
Book SynopsisA collection of poems by Mark Turcotte, which explore a continuing struggle with identity. Everything the poet touches upon is volatile - the poet himself, the people and world around him, ideas and mythologies, the ghosts of memory and dreams of the future - all seem to burst into fragments.
Trade ReviewMark Turcotte's poetry feels like something brand new in Native American literature, like the first step of an original and aboriginal journey. There are no forced apologies or faux confessions here, and no desperate and nostalgic reaches into the past. Turcotte is very present in these powerful and playful poems. - Sherman Alexie; ""I find Mark Turcotte's work to be very harsh, but true. In an age where false sincerity is favored over art, Turcotte's work is a corrective. It is very strong and has won me as a fan."" - Jim Harrison
