margaret_adams's review against another edition
Excellent collection, one of the first (1999) by current Navajo Nation Poet Laureate Laura Tohe. I got to hear Dr. Tohe read some of her current work at the Northern Arizona Book Festival, which I attended while in the process of moving to Tohe's hometown. Subsequently picked this up at the library in Gallup, NM. This book is a reflection on the Indian Boarding Schools, with the kind of prose/poetry mashup that always draws me in. Glad I found Dr. Tohe's work and looking forward to reading more.
