Diane Glancy (Author)

Book Description

Series: Earthworks S. | Publication Date: April 15, 2005

Speaking out of the known world, this powerful selection of Diane Glancy's poems transforms experience through new narratives, mytholigising history and social crisis. Tackling themes of disruption, loss and heritage, these poems invoke a wide range of familial and animal personae and environments: we find ourselves guided to a land filled with hope.

Editorial Reviews

Review

[Glancy's] poetry incorporates a lot of different formal strategies, including compound words, and a strategic use of spacing, italics, and captials... Reaching back into the community and staying connected with one's family seems central to [her] writing - acts that are fueled by the power of memory. -- Jennifer Andrews The American Indian Quarterly
