New Poets of Native Nations

New Poets of Native Nations

edited by Heid E Erdrich

A Landmark Anthology celebrating twenty-one native poets first published in the twenty-first century.

Gathers poets of diverse ages, styles, languages and cultures to present the extraordinary range and power of new Native poetry.  Editor Heid E. Erdrich has selected twenty-one poets whose first books were published since the year 2000 to highlight Native poets in this century.  Collected here are poems of immense breadth -- long narratives, political outcries, experimental works and traditional lyrics -- and the result is an essential anthology of some of the best poets writing now.

"Heid E. Erdrich has done long-awaited and patient and generous work in finding and selecting and collecting these poets from many nations, climates, traditions and even time zones. This is something we need." Stephanie Burt
