An exquisite series of meditations on memory, evanescence and the land. Randy Lundy draws deeply from his Cree heritage and equally from European and Asian traditions. Readers will be reminded by turns of Simon Ortiz, Pӓr Lagerkvist, and Jane Hirshfield. This is the mind of prayer, a seeing and re-seeing of the immense cyclic beauty of the earth. "Lundy has entered the place where the masters reside. His poems join the shades that walk among them. There aren't many people who get to that place and sometimes it can feel very lonely there, but the masters are saved by the brilliant and humble work they have done, their poems the crevices in our lives where the light shines through." - Patrick Lane, author of Washita "Randy Lundy's poems bring forward the spirit of his Cree ancestry, and place our species humbly among the creatures of Earth--who are all observed with deep reverence and perceptive care." - Don McKay, author of Strike/Slip "This is the book of poems I've been waiting for ... His poems burn us, feed us, and make us feel beloved even if we have been broken. Language, as he uses it, holds us and leads us to a place where we can mourn and pray and wonder." - Lorna Crozier, author of What the Soul Doesn't Want Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Lundy's poetry does something very unique. He is able to capture the Native American experience and culture and insert it into Western poetry without compromising either tradition or form. He recreatess a familiar past and common memories with the reader.
Remember the butter glazed, golden
crust of bread fresh from the oven
Remember the oven door
creaking, heat blasting
your six year old face
The first section of poetry is in a traditional style and frequently include a crow on the fringes of the poetry. The second section is prose poetry with a connection to the earth and the seasons. The collection closes with more traditional poetry. An outstanding collection of North American poetry.
