kiramke's review against another edition
5.0
Read a few other reviews, and I can't understand that we've read the same book. There are several poems, even passages, that would make this worth reading even if every other poem left me uninspired.
I'm going to leave this here for easy reference, as I'm reading a borrowed copy:
(p.19)
I am afraid of the future
as if I am the bear
turned in the stomach
of needy men
or the wolf become a dog
that will turn against itself
remembering what wildness was
before the crack of a gun,
before the men tried to kill it
or tame it
or tried to make it love them.

Beautiful poetry with Native American and environmental themes throughout. This is just fine stuff.
