• 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."
