Canoeing in the rain : poems for my Aleut-Athabascan son
Chandonnet's recent appearance at the Portland Poetry Festival drew the disapproval of some who would question the possibility and probity of a Caucasian woman meaningfully addressing the experience and feelings of Native Americans. These poems for her adopted son are filled with insight into and empathy for the Aleut-Athabascan culture. They're also quite lovely, as are the rare, previously unpublished photographs which accompany them, taken by Alaska photographer Clarence L. Andrews in the early years of this century
