| Publisher Description: Milton Blake boldly climbs into the skin of a cantankerous, eloquent Native American called Yellow Hammer, who stares with unblinking eyes at the staggering history of the American Indian. During this epic, poetic journey, the indigenous people's extraordinary lives, great chiefs, and unwavering spirit are vividly revealed and truly honored. Blake's fourth, eclectic work - from a collection of four - also contains Yellow Hammer's brutally honest views on topical themes, ranging from war mongers to the technological revolution to politicians on both sides of the aisle. It features prolific poems alongside hidden histories, essays, and commentaries. Yellow Hammer's passion, anger, sensitivity, and earthy humor ring throughout. His unique voice evokes the sardonic wit and social satire of Mark Twain, the touching, bare-bones craft of Willa Cather, and the contemporary grit of Sherman Alexie. Words of Yellow Hammer an Unacceptable Injun is a radical cry for justice - and a fervent prayer for the current and future generations to pay heed. Please note that net profits from the sale of this book, and the entire Yellow Hammer collection, will be donated to the Native American Rights Fund. NARF.ORG |
