Through All the Displacements
by Edgar Gabriel
Silex
“This is a work of great complexity, beautifully crafted and emotionally engaging, direct but never obvious. Silex has thrown everything he is into this work, leaving the reader no choice but to fully engage him or herself with the reading...the presentation is fresh, the poetics challenging, the vision stunning.” -- Terren Ilana Wein, Forkroads

These are highly original poems dealing with the historic and contemporary damage inflicted on Native American people and culture in the United States. Although these precise, lyrical, and imagistic poems deal with racism, poverty, incest, and child abuse, the general effect of the entire book is one of hope, forgiveness, and regeneration as the poet comes to terms with his past, affirming the history and value of Native American culture. Silex’s poems are infused with honesty, passion and humor.
