Love Medicine and one Song
by Greg Scofield
Love Medicine and one Song, a classic collection of poetry by one of Canada's leading Aboriginal writers, Gregory Scofield, is now available in a stunning new edition. In this book of poems, Gregory Scofield steps out of the urban rez and enters the fields of love. Intertwining lush scenes from the natural world with images of the human body, the poems in Love Medicine and one Song celebrate human relationships with the land, and with the bodies of ourselves and our lovers. This collection of poems melds intensely erotic imagery with elements of the Canadian bush and the rhythm of Cree words and phrases. These poems, both sacred and erotic, reach over boundaries of gender and race, drawing the reader closer to the humanness of love and desire in all its forms.
Love Medicine and one Song, also boasts an introduction by Warren Cariou, who says of this collection:“This book richly deserves to be brought back into the public eye, first and foremost because of the beauty of its poetry, but also because it has been important in beginning a shift in thinking about what love itself means, and how love is connected to sexuality, spirituality and nature.”
"... Love Medicine is one of the most beautifully-produced books I've laid hands on in all the time I've been up in the Festival office. The paper is gorgeous, the screening in the background is tasteful, the size & shape are exactly right. Bravo--an absolutely spectacular piece of work, & a perfect way to honor the writing itself." -Charlene Diehl, Director, Winnipeg International Writers Festival
