These autobiographical poems express hard-won wisdom and equilibrium. Monolin Manny Moreno offers a clear-eyed rootedness in place and family, love of and respect for Indigenous community and ceremony, the courage to examine dishonest and self-destructive choices, the compassion for those who are consumed by self-hatred, and the power of prayer, and the pain of forgiving. Moreno is not just a Central Valley poet, however, but also an accomplished...

Je suis l'Amérindienne
Et ce fardeau
Demeure en moi à jamais

Et aussi de pouvoir changer les...

This book is, dedicated to all veterans who have served in the military. This book is a book of poems that shows my love for the veterans!
My Wife and I visited the wall that houses all Vietnam Vetrans have been, killed in Vietnam. My first thought was "my God, how many names are on the wall". Later I found out roughly 60,000. God told me to honor them, so I wrote "Freedom's Wall". I hope you enjoy these poems! Bruce Robertson

Dans plusieurs cultures autochtones, nous nous révélons en racontant d'o nous venons, alors c'est ce que j'ai fait. J'ai voulu brosser un tableau du lieu o j'ai grandi, de la façon dont j'ai grandi dans ce lieu que...

Creative writing tends to have secrets. Many of my poems do. My belief is that the writer should have surprises... Poetry also feels. How do you know what it feels like? Only the reader can provide the answer to such a question. A poem may become a puzzle that cannot be broken into pieces without destroying its meaning. Poetry should have secrets! Writers have tremendous powers within themselves, even if they are the only ones that can see them. As...

Au début, il y eut ce tremblement intérieur, un frémissement devant les blessures de la vie ou encore ce mouvement comme une danse lors des moments heureux. Puis l'alphabet est arrivé.
Je croyais que je n'y arriverais jamais, seule dans cette classe qui ne savait pas la langue de l'autre. Ensuite les mots sont nés, les phrases, les paragraphes complets jamais dévoilés, toujours
cachés.

Voir sans regarder
regarder sans voir
tu as les mains pleines d'histoires.
Après Naomi Fontaine, voilà qu'on goûte aux mots de Natasha Kanapé Fontaine. Il faut prêter l'oreille à ce chant de paix, à cette voix qui s'élève pour faire entendre
celle des siens, pour unir, avec une assurance qui force l'admiration.

Un cri s'élève en moi qui me transfigure. Le monde attend que la femme revienne au monde comme elle est née telle qu'elle est: femme naissance, femme droite, femme debout, femme puissante. Femme résurgence. Renaissance. Un appel s'élève en moi et j'ai décidé de lui dire oui. Dire oui à ma naissance. Assumer en mon esprit les mémoires qui émergent en même temps que la voix des femmes autochtones se dressent au-dessus de la noirceur ambiante....
