| Description: |
The world of American poet Adrian Louis is harsh and full of pain - from the blizzard-blasted plains and dusty towns of the northern Midwest, to the hopeless barrenness of the Reservation, it explores through humour, anger and compassion, the bleak interior world of loss, illness and despair. |
| Synopsis: |
The world of acclaimed Native American poet Adrian Louis is harsh and full of pain-the blizzard-blasted plains and dusty towns of the northern Midwest, the hopeless barrenness of the Reservation, and a bleak interior world of loss, illness, and despair. Louis's poems bring us to a place where ghosts hitchhike and the traditional pow-wow becomes an affirmation of bitter survival, where the lives of the young end too often in acts of meaningless self-destruction, and where his own existence becomes a daily battle with his cherished wife's decline into the dementia of Alzheimer's disease. Louis is a writer of extraordinary courage and skill, and these powerful, moving poems, wrested from the harsh experience of the Rez and his own lonely struggle with a merciless illness, will awe their readers with their brilliance and desperate humanity. |
