My Flesh the Sound of Rain

Résumé du livre

An Indian Shaman shares the page with the Christian Virgin and the pagan holy days Beltain and Samhain in Metis poet Heather MacLeod's masterpiece of interwoven mythologies. Crow and raven fly parallel with Hag-Woman and Noah. With powerful, direct language, she also portrays a northern community and the various nations whose lives are intertwined -- Inuit, Dene, Cree and white, and shows family life as a source of love and belonging, but also a source of great pain.
