The Shadow's Horse
Buch
There is a saying in Native American tradition that wholeness is when the shadow of the rider and his horse are one. Although we usually focus our attention on what seems most real, Diane Glancy shows us that the shadow of our past has substance as well.

There is a saying in Native American tradition that wholeness is when the shadow of the rider and his horse are one. Although we usually focus our attention on what seems most real, Diane Glancy shows us that the shadow of our past has substance as well. The Shadow's Horse is a new collection of poems in which Glancy walks the margin between her white and Indian heritage. In poems that conjure the persistence of fallen leaves or juxtapose images of Christ and the stockyards, she powerfully evokes place and spirit to address with intelligence and beauty issues of family, work, and faith. Writing in a cross-boundaried, fragmented voice--a voice based on the memory of the way language sounded when it was stretched across the cultures or walked in both worlds--Glancy has fashioned a book about speaking oneself into existence. The Shadow's Horse is the story of one culture made to sing the song of another until the Native voice is so erased it is nearly an illusion. Yet as readers of these poems will discover, the shadow of the past is as real as the horse it rides.
