5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best books I've read in years. . .
Revard is a wonderful storyteller, yet his poems are lyrical and beautifully wrought.

I would recommend this book not only to avid poetry readers but to anyone who likes a good story.

Read his work carefully
It does not matter whether you are a Rhodes Scholar, have a PhD. or are a minority. Using Nazi terms to describe Israelis in regards to Middle East politics is not terribly intellectual. Whether one feels the North American Holocaust has parallels to the European one(s), you do not become an expert in Palestinian issues by watching the news a few times a week and then...

This review is from: An Eagle Nation (Sun Tracks) (Paperback)
It does not matter whether you are a Rhodes Scholar, have a PhD. or are a minority. Using Nazi terms to describe Israelis in regards to Middle East politics is not terribly intellectual. Whether one feels the North American Holocaust has parallels to the European one(s), you do not become an expert in Palestinian issues by watching the news a few times a week and then writing what you assume to be pithy and poignant poetry. Revard's poetry is beautifully crafted and clearly demonstrates his passion for his mixed heritage, but when I discovered near the end of the book that he decided to dance around the precipitous edge of politics, I became disappointed.
