Synopsis
A passionate and provocative collection of poetry, Glass Tepee finds its roots in the experiences and traditions of Canada's first peoples. Some pieces draw on the landscape, philosophy and culture of the Secwepemc (Shuswap) territory and original inhabitants, while others comment on Aboriginal reserve politics and the complicated realities experienced by Natives in urban centres.
Critical and compassionate, Gottfriedson's imagination is infused with a contemporary political and cultural awareness that is disarming and unpretentious.
