I'll Sing 'til the Day I Die
"...I like to sing", says Eva Maracle, "and I'll sing 'til the day I die". A hundred years of Native North American history emerges from the lives of fifteen Elders of Tyendinaga, in conversation with Mohawk writer Beth Brant. School teachers, domestic workers, miners, civil servants and factory workers people these accounts with the grist and joy of everyday lives spanning the 20th century. From farming and canning to a chemist who unknowingly worked to develop the atom bomb, the Elders speak history in the first person present. A history that, like the Elders themselves, transcends colonial oppression, arriving strong and generous, grounded in land and community.
Food & Spirits
Most of these sensitive, engaging tales set in Canada explore the private tragedies and triumphs of Native Americans. The exception, "This Is History," offers a woman-focused account of the origins of Turtle Island (the Earth) in which Sky Woman (the moon) and her daughter/companion First Woman share the "naming" tasks central to creation tales. In "Wild Turkeys," a woman visiting her hometown is shaken when a chance encounter brings back vivid memories of an abusive relationship she fled. The title story tells of 80-year-old Elijah Powless, determined to see his twin granddaughters in the "big city." Armed only with innocent charm and a bag of homemade fry bread, he travels to Detroit, making friends and allies of all whom he meets. Several of Brant's (The Mohawk Trail) stories consider the need to come to terms with death: in "This Place," a medicine man whose "good medicine" ranges from butter tarts and old Hank Williams songs to a snakeskin and chanting helps a gay man afflicted with AIDS find the courage to "see death coming and run to meet it."

Pride, Prejudice and the Perfect Match
Read the latest contemporary romance by national bestselling author Marilyn Brant: A single mother and an ER doctor meet on an Internet dating site-each for reasons that have little to do with finding their perfect match-in this modern, Austen-inspired story. It's a tribute to the power of both "pride" & "prejudice" in bringing two people romantically together, despite their mutual insistence that they should stay apart... Would an Elizabeth Bennet by any other name be as appealing to a Darcy? Beth Ann Bennet isn't looking for love. She's an aspiring social worker using an online alias to study sex-role stereotypes. Dr. William Darcy isn't looking for love either. He's just trying to fund hi...
The Body and the Book
The stimulating mix of academics and practising poets that have contributed to this volume provides an unusual and illuminating integration of critical and creative practice and a vibrantly diverse approach to questions of poetry and sexuality. Each section of essays is complemented by poems which creatively illustrate or develop the theme with which the essays critically engage. Rather than being limited to a specific genre, tradition, time or place, this collection seeks to make a virtue of contrast, comparison and juxtaposition. The collection is arranged into sections that range broadly across the thematic ground of dichotomies, traditions and revisions, microscopic and macroscopic persp...
