REVIEW
"Joseph's
collection deserves a wide audience. I am moved by the
rich flowing imagery, from within which he speaks clearly
of places deeply familiar."
Jeannette Armstrong
by
Prairie Fire:
"looking
into the eyes of my forgotten dreams chronicles the
destruction of native culture in powerful, terse verse
accompanied by archival photos of west coast natives
during the residential school years. joseph dandurand,
a Kwantlen poet from the Fort Langley Band, uses personal
experience, history, and his imagination
to give his people the voice they never had during those
years.
|
..With
subjects such as suicide, small pox, sexual abuse, alcoholism,
and the nature of residential school life; this is not
poetry for the faint of heart. It is a testament to
a lost and alienated culture.
..As
dandurand recreates the incomprehensible past he struggles
to make sense of the present and himself. In this way
the book is a catharsis."
