Description

In this Ojibwa translation of “Rising with a Distant Dawn” by David Groulx| the author and the translator present a powerful and moving poetry collection which stretches across the boundaries of skin colour| language| and religion to give voice to the lives and experiences of ordinary Aboriginal Canadians. The poems embrace anguish| pride| and hope. They come from the woodlands and the plains| they speak of love| of war| and of the known and the mysterious| they strike with wisdom| joy| and sadness| bringing us closer than ever before to the heart of urban Aboriginal life.
