Sing With the Heart of a Bear - Fusions of Native and American Poetry, 1890-1999

"[Lincoln] invites fresh readings of the 'mainstream' poets, introduces literary scholars to useful critical viewpoints rarely encountered in English departments, provokes our historical imaginations with unexpected comparisons, and offers a sustained response to critics and authors who advocate rigid ethnic and literary categories."—Kenneth Roemer, University of Texas at Austin

Riassunto

Examining contemporary poetry by way of ethnicity and gender, this book tracks the Renaissance invention of the Wild Man and the recurrent Adamic myth of the lost Garden. It discusses the first anthology of American Indian verse, "The Path on the Rainbow" (1918), which opened Jorge Luis Borges' university surveys of American literature.
