The poems in Crossing Water reflect the multiple face of Caribbean and, by so doing, defy any easy labelling or categorization.  They celebrate a region's language and customs, landscape and seascape.

This collection of fiction and poetry imparts the diversity and breadth of the North Country and the writers who sing its songs. "Affords the delight of discovering unique, unknown talent. This anthology imparts the diversity of the people and the writings of the region it covers. The selections in it are good, yet out of the mainstream-and for this, they offer a refreshing change from the commercial writings many readers are accustomed to. Beyond this, many will enjoy North Country because it affords them the delight of discovering a unique, unknown talent."  -The Small Press Book Review

To provide a fresh look at Alaskan culture, editor Bruchac has compiled an assortment of poems, stories, essays, plays, and journal excerpts from the writings of native Alaskans. All deal with the transitions, losses, struggles, and successes of life in a changing homeland. Many of the writers vividly remember the changes, good and bad, that statehood brought. More than one (most notably Robert H. Davis) remark on the irony of a white culture that stripped natives of their heritage and now asks them to revive it for politically correct university courses. Some of the 23 writers are well known (Mary TallMountain and Fred Bigjim, for example), while others are celebrating their first publication. Most authors provide short autobiographies presenting their cultural and literary influences as an introduction to their statement.

Reclaiming the Vision has its genesis in a gathering of more than 200 North American Native writers which took place in July of 1992. That landmark conference, called Returning The Gift, made the encouragement of Native American youth one of its main goals. Through major funding from the Bay Foundation, the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, that conference and a series of Outreach Workshops conducted by Native American writers in Native classrooms around the continent - from New York City to Alaska - focused on the place of literature in the lives of young Native Americans. Special attention was paid to the ways in which writing can foster hope, build self-esteem, provide guidance and shape a vision of a better future. A Dissemination Grant was provided by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to help share some of the results of the festival through a special publication. The result is this carefully edited volume that blends together work from many of the Native writers who have been a part of Returning The Gift and Wordcraft Circle, the mentoring organization that is an outgrowth of the 1992 festival. Edited by Lee Francis and James Bruchac, it includes transcripts from the plenary sessions of Returning The Gift, sections on storytelling, the writing of poetry, fiction and autobiography, exercises which use Native American writing to generate work from student writers, and an anthology of poetry and prose by American Indian students. Reclaiming the Vision is a book to be treasured by anyone interested in Native American literature or the teaching of Native American students. If you are looking for a vision, look this way.

"This anthology is a collection of courageous poems by sixty prisoners incarcerated throughout the U.S. Widely published poets are included along with many unknown names. They all share an ability, as Michael Hogan states in the Afterword, to uphold 'the humanistic value of a passionate language.' This landmark book resounds with the possibilities of freedom." -The Bloombury Review

The stories we hold secret are stories of our growth as women, our transformations, the waking moments of realization that change the direction of our lives.  They are sacred stories.  They are hidden stories, sometimes even from ourselves.  They have been concealed while we search for a language that will speak the unnames mystery, for words that will release grief or anger, words that, like a rosetta stone, help us decifer the inside story that must be told.  - Carol Bruchac editor
