Poetry. Native American Studies. Winner of the North American Native Authors First Book Award. Deborah Miranda's INDIAN CARTOGRAPHY provides a psychic and emotional remapping of the Native American world of the West Coast. In lyric verse that is sometimes spare, sometimes dramatic, Miranda charts a homeward journey through the heart's territory --a land that has long been torn, disrupted, and colonized in the harshest sense of that word --Janice Gould. The first poem grabbed my wrist and held me for the duration. The prose is equally alive and its images have the precision and the edge of the finest poetry. Seamless back and forth journey from one little girl to another, one woman to another, one memory to another. All distinct yet connected. One long scream from a heart who will not stop living, whose life is an affirmation of survival --Wendy Rose. Miranda's poetry and essays have appeared in Bricolage, Calyx, Calloo, The Cimarron Review, Raven Chronicles, and Soujourner.

Memory, History, Loss, Renewal--Beautiful & Compelling Poems,
By A Customer
This review is from: Indian Cartography (Paperback)
Miranda's collection is one of the best I've read in recent years. Her journey through personal and historical grief is always rendered in lyrical, evocative language--Here in the dark nation of my body I am never homeless. . . An important new voice in Native poetry. I highly recommend this collection!
