Reviews
“Gail Tremblay is a singer of eminent power and grace. And we are compelled to listen, to sing with her.” —Joy Harjo
“Tremblay is a poet with a message: that the ancestral ways…can show our millennial world how to save itself…. The political melds seamlessly with the spiritual.” —Booklist
“…a beautiful collection of intimate and profound songs for a world in desperate need of songs. It is not just the lament of yesterday; it is the prophecy of tomorrow.” —The Western Star
“Gail Tremblay’s work sings with the bone-shilling beauty of a siren’s song. Like that song, these poems pull on ancient chants as surely as the sea might pull us back to out watery beginnings.” —Colleen McElroy
“In her lyrical, rhythmic text, Tremblay sings the stories Leslie Silko says we must tell in order to survive.” —Belles Lettres
“These poems are fluid and ripple with the language of our Longhouses…. Gail Tremblay offers a delicate but perceptive experience that heals, and like the clan mothers, she watches and remembers.” —Elizabeth Woody
“Gail Tremblay is a poet of power and clarity. Her work sends a voice not as often heard in these United States as it should be, a voice we need to hear.” —Paula Gunn Allen
