Songs From This Earth on the Turtle's Back: Contemporary American Indian Poetry

Edited by Joseph Bruchac.  Fifty-two contributors from more than 35 different Native American nations make up this comprehensive anthology of contemporary poetry. These poems draw on ancient tradition but address a rich variety of themes.  "It is my hope that this book will serve as an introduction and will lead to further reading. American Indian writers have a great deal to offer, not just to their own people, but to all human beings who believe in the Earth, in the survival of living things, in the survival of the spirit. Let us listen carefully to their words, these songs from this Earth on Turtle's Back." - Joseph Bruchac
