Book Description

April 1, 1981

Land is people. Remembering is all.


These themes pervade Geary Hobson's anthology of poetry, essays, and short stories by contemporary Native American writers. A Native American (Cherokee-Chickasaw), Hobson himself is a poet, short story writer, essayist, editor, university teacher, and ex-Marine. He knows this generation well: the writers he has selected, from the Atlantic coast to Hawaii, are for the most part young voices reaffirming the wisdom, "In remembering, there is strength and continuance and renewal through the generations."

Originally published by the Red Earth Press of Albuquerque, this broad survey of the experience, renascence, and aesthetic of Native American writing today is incisive, reflective, moving, and provocative in its variety. Readers familiar with contemporary writing will recognize the names of Silko, Momaday, Hero, Allen, Brooches, and Rose among the nearly one hundred artists assembled here. Their poems, short stories, and especially their essays titled "Imitation Indian Poems," "The Man Made of Words," and "The rise of the White Shaman," provide valuable statements of Native American writers' own assessment of their legacy within the larger context of Anglo-American life and literary traditions. Their works illumine the will to endure and to praise as it is revealed in on-Reservation and urban-landless Native American experiences.

4.0 out of 5 stars Remembered Earth, April 24, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Remembered Earth: An Anthology of Contemporary Native American Literature (Paperback)
The Remembered Earth, edited by Geary Hobson, may have been the first anthology exclusively containing Native American literature. It is by far the most comprehensive one that I have come across. The works in the anthology cut across all literary genres (poetry, short stories, drama, etc) and cover most of the regions in the U.S. It includes works by who are now major figures in the literary world-Leslie Marmon Silko and N. Scott Momaday for example-but it also includes a great sample of little know authors. My only quibble with the book is that there is no index, the table of contents is arranged by author and not by their work, and their is not a lot of biographical info included about the authors. Those small quibbles aside, The Remembered Earth is a wonderful book that covers an extraordinary group of artists that often do not make it into the literary canon.
