In the Presence of the Sun
Author: N. Scott Momaday
Publisher: UNM Press
ISBN: 0826348173
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
"In the Presence of the Sun presents 30 years of selected works by [N. Scott] Momaday, the well-known Southwest Native American novelist. His unadorned poetry, which recounts fables and rituals of the Kiowa nation, conveys the deep sense of place of the Native American oral tradition. Here are dream-songs about animals (bear, bison, terrapin) and life away from urban alienation, an imagined re-creation based on Billy the Kid, prose poems about Plains Shields (and a fascinating discussion of their background), and new poems that utilize primary colors ('forms of the earth') to express instinctive continuities of a pre-Columbian vision."--Library Journal "The strong, spare beauty of In the Presence of the Sun is compelling evidence that Scott Momaday is one of the most versatile and distinguished artists in America today."--Peter Matthiessen ". . . the images, the voices, the people are shadowy, elusive, burning with invention, like flames against a dark sky. For behind them is always the artist-author himself . . . a man with a sacred investiture. Strong medicine, strong art indeed."--The New York Times Book Review

Kissing God Goodbye

Category : Literary Criticism

Pages : 120
Book Description
Jordan's work, at this point and for many years now, is perfect. She says exactly what she means to say, and says it so powerfully that the reader hears each phrase. She manages to tap into that place where race and sexuality, class and justice, gender and memory come together. She doesn't go with the cutting-edge idea but reaches for that difficult terrain where others may fear to tread. --American Book Review. She is among the bravest of us, the most outraged. She feels for all. She is the universal poet. --Alice Walker. Jordan is one of the most musically and lyrically gifted poets of the late twentieth century. --Adrienne Rich.
