All Eyes on Me: A Collection of Diné Poetry
$17.95
The collection is a mix of personal thought and memory not unlike those that fill every person’s day. The memories of youthful angst against conformity evolve into an introspective line of self-determination. Poems of family troubles blend into poems of love and heartbreak. Capitalism and classism make their way to a reservation backdrop exposing the invasion of western life into reservation blues.
Rick Abasta dissects contemporary Diné issues in this collection of 30 poems.
