Jacklight [Paperback]

Louise Erdrich (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: 1984

The poems of Louise Erdrich reflect what it is to be a woman, a Midwesterner and a native American. She presents that region and those people without sentimentality, and although drawing from a deep well she does not ignore the ordinary. Her novels include "Love Medicine".
