Synopsis

The poems of Louise Erdrich reflect what it is to be a woman, a Midwesterner and a native American. She presents that region and those people without sentimentality, and although drawing from a deep well she does not ignore the ordinary. Her novels include "Love Medicine".

About this title

Review:

‘Reading the poems in 'Jacklight', one experiences the sensation of fear that an honest vision evokes. That is how we must learn things; by knowing a bit of truthful fear we may know courage, love, faith, life. That is the way I experience Erdrich’s poems of revelation. She is a remarkable, remarkable writer.’ Simon Ortiz
