Bone Dance

A prolific voice in Native American writing for more than twenty years, Rose has been widely anthologized, and is the author of eight volumes of poetry. Bone Dance is a major anthology of her work, comprising selections from her previous collections along with new poems. The 56 selections move from observation of the earth to a search for one's place and identity on it. In an introduction written for this anthology, Rose comments on the place each past collection had in her development as a poet. "Rich in poems which enhance our awareness of the human complexity of our social and moral dilemmas." --"Book Review Digest" "There is a whisper in the wind among the chapters . . . and a singing rain beyond the window." --"American Indian Culture Research Journal"
