5.0 out of 5 stars
A compendium of original poetry,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Primer of the Obsolete (Paperback)
Primer Of The Obsolete is a compendium of original poetry that showcases the imaginative talent and literary expertise of Diane Glancy (Professor of Native American Literature and Creative Writing, Macalester College, St. Paul, Minnesota). The lyrics explore the conjoined cultures of Europeans and Native Americans and have their roots in history, religion, and traditions. Three Deer: Three deer step from the woods./They stand on the edge of the clearing./Two female and one male with small, four-point horns./They hold their bodies taut as they smell the air./They have had lessons in danger./They nudge the snow to find the field grass,/look quickly up./They have long legs, slim as young girls/but a thickening body the legs can still carry/with the graceful awkwardness/of a junior high gym class./One slips in the snow as she tries to hop back into the woods/but reappears/as we all do,/drawn to what we fear.
