Beschreibung
These are the poems of a master poet. . . . When you read these poems, you will learn to hear deeply the sound a soul makes as it sings about the mystery of dreaming and becoming.Joy Harjo, Mvskoke Nation, U.S. Poet LaureatePulitzer Prize winner and celebrated American master N. Scott Momaday returns with a radiant collection of more than 200 new and selected poems rooted in Native American oral tradition.One of the most important and unique voices in American letters, distinguished poet, novelist, artist, teacher, and storyteller N. Scott Momaday was born into the Kiowa tribe and grew up on Indian reservations in the Southwest. The customs and traditions that influenced his upbringingmost notably the Native American oral traditionare the centerpiece of his work.This luminous collection demonstrates Momadays mastery and love of language and the matters closest to his heart. To Momaday, words are sacred; language is power. Spanning nearly fifty years, the poems gathered here illuminate the human condition, Momadays connection to his Kiowa roots, and his spiritual relationship to the American landscape.The title poem, The Death of Sitting Bear is a celebration of heritage and a memorial to the great Kiowa warrior and chief. I feel his presence close by in my blood and imagination, Momaday writes, and I sing him an honor song. Here, too, are meditations on mortality, love, and loss, as well as reflections on the incomparable and holy landscape of the Southwest.The Death of Sitting Bear evokes the essence of human experience and speaks to us all.
