Lost Creeks: Collected Journals
Autor Alexander Posey Editat de Matthew Wynn Sivilsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 apr 2009
Lost Creeks collects for the first time all the journals and shorter autobiographical works of noted Muscogee (Creek) writer, humorist, and political activist Alexander Posey (1873–1908). In his brief but productive life Posey became an influential political spokesperson, man of letters, and advocate for better conditions in Indian Territory. Posey’s journals reveal much about his turbulent but noteworthy political career, his personal aspirations and challenges, and the creative process behind not only his poetry and short stories but also his famed Fus Fixico letters.
Drawing on extensive archival research, Matthew Wynn Sivils produces a carefully annotated edition of the journals and also provides abundant contextual information. This volume enriches and personalizes the legacy of this remarkable Native writer and provides new insight into the beginnings of twentieth-century Native intellectual, political, and literary movements and traditions.

Recenzii
"The editor has extensively supplemented the original texts with a biographical essay, an introduction to the journals that contextualizes Posey in relation to the politics of the Creek nation, and a catalogue of his library books, thus making of a few discrete glimpses into Posey's life and his milieu a useful and engaging volume."—Tol Foster, Chronicles of Oklahoma
"This book is an excellent addition to Native American collections in either an academic or public libraries."—Philenese Slaughter, American Indian Libraries Newsletter
"Practically unavailable until now, these autobiographical sketches and poems about Muscogee politics and place offer a fascinating look into Posey's formative writing life during a crucial historical moment."—Joshua B. Nelson, SAIL
