Product Description

Product Description

This title contains moving quotations from leading American Native Indians, Chiefs, Medicine Men, as well as ordinary people, poems, songs, prose, speeches and stories both past and present. The spiritual wisdom of these peoples is based on a love and reverence for Nature, a belief in a Supreme Being and a spirit world which interacts with human activity. The contents are in alphabetical order and are grouped around the main Native Indian Nations from Apache to Zuni, including the Sioux, Eskimo, Cherokee and many more. It also includes tributes from famous Poets such as Longfellow and George Meredith etc. The introduction is by a leading authority in the field, Dr. Mick Gidley, Emeritus Professor of American Literature and Culture, University of Leeds. He puts the broad scope of the anthology in historical context and explains succinctly and intelligently the wonderful diversity of cultures and languages that it celebrates.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Beautiful Anothology, 7 May 2009
By Paula Marvelly (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Subtitled `A Spiritual Traditional at One with Nature', this is yet another beautiful collection of poems from the mystical anthologist, Alan Jacobs, whose `Poetry for the Spirit' is already a modern-day classic.

This beautiful and inspiring collection of prose and poetry, songs and speeches draws from the words of the great Native American Indians - chiefs, medicine men and members of native tribes.

The book is also greatly enhanced by a scholarly introduction by Dr Mick Gidley, Emeritus Professor of American Studies at the University of Leeds.

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in poetry: what sets this exquisite volume apart is its return to the ancient traditions of the Americas, a genre that is often overlooked. And yet, many of the poems are surprisingly modern:

`Song of an Initiate'

climbed the blue staircase up to the sky
climbed where the roses were opening
where roses were speaking

heard nothing nothing to hear
heard silence

I climbed the roses were singing
where the gods were waiting
blue staircase up in the sky

but heard nothing nothing to hear
heard silence silence
[Anon]

Highly recommended.
