Radiant - bell curve by Paul Hsu 0816527091 Tapahonso does an excellent job with her poems and stories Her juxtaposition between the European and Native American traditions within her writing is beautiful utilizing two tactics for her poetry that are distinctly European sestina and villanelle that she turns and makes her own in a twist of fate from the colonizing of Native Americans Additionally her attention to time is incredible where days weeks months or years have passed through an entire poem and you as the audience still believe it is all taking place at the beginning Her imagery is gorgeous and reminds me of my home to the point I simply feel like I am taking a walk through the hills of my hometown here in the Southwest The interweaving of Navajo with English is again a beautiful play back to Tapahonso using European traditions to her own life 0816527091 I shared poems from this book with my class Several students had no idea who Luci was or that there a Navajo poet existed This work compliments her earlier poetry collections exploring ideas about family history and language I like that the collection came with a CD with the author reading so I could share that with my class too More poetry collections should come with CDs of the author reading 0816527091 Sestinas 3 0816527091
