Review # 1 was written on 2016-01-10 00:00:00 Jeff Hans There is lovely poetry in this book. There also are a couple of short stories. I think the purpose of the book was mostly to prove female American Natives can: 1. write (yes, they can), 2. have understandable feelings of loss, regret, pain, 3. women would run the world better than men do ( I agree). If you enjoy poetry, gentle reader, I'm sure there will be some in here you will like.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-11-16 00:00:00 Michelle Pembrook No matter how many times I give poetry a chance, I almost always leave it disappointed. I was really looking forward to reading some great Native American poetry about Native pasts, presents and futures, but instead all I got was some new-agey sounding drivel about nature and being one with the world. I enjoy highly politicized poetry in the first place, so this was especially disappointing. I did enjoy Joy Harjo's poems more than anyone else, but not nearly enough to rate this compilation more than one star. It just did not captivate me nearly as much as I was hoping. And poetry fails me again.
