Review
"'I am traveling with these old reports. / This bundle of voices in my throat,' writes Diane Glancy in her stunning new book. In nine sections, through several reports and multiple voices and visions, the poet returns readers to signal events in the (reanimated) history of Native Americans and white colonizers in America."--Hilda Raz, author of What Happens
Synopsis
Constructed as a series of reports to the Department of the Interior, these poems of grief, anger, defiance, and resistance focus on the oppressive educational system adopted by Indian boarding schools and the struggle Native Americans experienced to retain and honor traditional ways of life and culture.
