Finally...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Way of Power: Poems (Paperback)
Finally a book of poems that speaks of my own experience and understanding of the world!! This book and Red Hawk's two previous books are some of the best poetry I've ever read...and I read poetry like a fiend. As a high school English teacher, I am always on the hunt for poems whose literal meanings are clear enough for students to be interested right off but which also offer a wealth of deeper meaning once the surface is scratched--Red Hawk's poems are perfect for this. My students love him and so many have begun reading poetry on their own after this introduction!! (This, of course, is the English teacher's secret fantasy--a world of poetry readers!!) I, myself, am always moved by the depth of the poems themselves and I always notice something previously missed. If you read only one poem in your life, read "For Rain Drop Who Grows Up" -- it is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful tributes to a child I have ever read.

A powerful, thoughtful and amazing experience!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Way of Power: Poems (Paperback)
This beautiful collection of poems follows Red Hawk's stunning "The Sioux Dog Dance." Following a year at Princeton University as its Hodder Fellow, Red Hawk has lost none of his ability to powerfully convey images of beauty and evil as revealed in everyday life. Much of this work is autobiographical and reveals the writer/educator as a self-described "loser" searching for salvation in an ugly world. He has the rare ability to seek and find the truth in the smallest and seemingly most meaningless of actions. With spare and simple prose, Red Hawk turns a perceptive and unwavering eye on the world, as well as himself. THIS IS A MUST-BUY, EVEN IF YOU HATE POETRY!!!
