Comments on the book
Earth Elegance by Cynthia Gallaher
"The Ojibwa people have a word for a messenger for those with no voice--'Ozhkabewisug'--one of the highest honors a warrior can aspire to. Gallaher scores big with this collection of moving poems that pays homage to humanity's spiritual ties to those other relatives of our. You'll be amazed at her words that flip like coins to skillfully paint images in our minds. She is indeed an 'Ozhkabewisug' and a warrior. This is one book everyone should read to reaffirm those special relationships that we humans tend to forget in our rush to control everything around us."
--Ed Two-Rivers, recipient of the American Book Award and the Iron Eyes Cody Peace Prize
