Recenzii

Tokens in an Indian Graveyard are tales of kindness and charity, but also of prejudice and downright meanness; a history of the Fort Bidwell Indian School and the systematic destruction of Native culture. Tokens sustains the ancient conversation between the land and its human cultures. From their shared wisdom, Linda Hussa weaves lessons of hope and survival. --Jerry Martien, author of Pieces In Place, The Shell Game
How wonderful to partake of the wit, wisdom, and vitality of life in the Surprise Valley region. Thank you, Linda Hussa! --Lawson Fusao Inada Oregon Poet Laureate
The poems in this volume are like the land and people Linda Hussa celebrates, spare, yet so rich, luminous, and evocative that the language seems charmed. Her work observes the ancient critical dictum that poetry must delight and teach. --Joyce Peterson, author of Curs'd Example the Duchess of Malfi and Commonweal Tragedy
