Paperback. Condition: Good. Winner, 2024 Stubbendieck Great Plains Distinguished Book Prize "A fascinating search for personal and cultural identity." --Kirkus Thomas C. Gannon's Birding While Indian spans more than fifty years of childhood walks and adult road trips to deliver, via a compendium of birds recorded and revered, the author's life as a part-Lakota inhabitant of the Great Plains. Great Horned Owl, Sandhill Crane, Dickcissel: such species form a kind of rosary, a corrective to the rosaries that evoke Gannon's traumatic time in an Indian boarding school in South Dakota, his mother's devastation at racist bullying from coworkers, and the violent erasure colonialism demanded of the people and other animals indigenous to the United States. Birding has always been Gannon's escape and solace. He later found similar solace in literature, particularly by Native authors. He draws on both throughout this expansive, hilarious, and humane memoir. An acerbic observer--of birds, the environment, the aftershocks of history, and human nature--Gannon navigates his obsession with the ostensibly objective avocation of birding and his own mixed-blood subjectivity, searching for that elusive Snowy Owl and his own identity. The result is a rich reflection not only on one man's life but on the transformative power of building a deeper relationship with the natural world.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In this companion volume to Animals in theAmerican Classics: How Natural History Inspired Great Fiction, John Cullen Gruesser brings together leading experts who explore the integral role animals play in American poetry. The ten essays in Animals in Classic American Poetry: How Natural History Inspired Great Verse showcase how the natural history of and imagery relating to animals have inspired some of America?s best-known and most beloved poets. The book highlights exceptional literary verse from the first American to publish a book of poems, Puritan Anne Bradstreet in the seventeenth century, to the African American writer Yusef Komunyakaa and the Native American Joy Harjo, a recent US poet laureate, in the twenty-first century. Essays on the well-known figures Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Marianne Moore, and Elizabeth Bishop round out this pathbreaking collection. Animals in Classic AmericanPoetry provides a glimpse into the brilliant, burrowing, and passionate minds of some of America?s most revered poets. Whether it is Poe?s haunting, hybrid description of a raven, Emily Dickinson?s nostalgic yet chilling observations about a garter snake, or Robert Frost?s unsettled and unsettling ruminations about a spider consuming a moth, each poet reflects on what it means to be a nonhuman and a human animal.  Not just for students, professors, and scholars of literature, this unique project will appeal to scientists and general readers because of the truly interdisciplinary way in which it examines our biodiverse natural world through the lens of unforgettable American poetry.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A Native rereading of both British Romanticism and mainstream Euro-American ecocriticism, this cross-cultural transatlantic study of literary imaginings about birds sets the agenda for a more sophisticated and nuanced ecocriticism. Lakota critic Thomas C. Gannon explores how poets and nature writers in Britain and Native America have incorporated birds into their writings. He discerns an evolution in humankind's representations-and attitudes toward-other species by examining the avian images and tropes in British Romantic and Native American literatures, and by considering how such literary treatment succeeds from an ecological or animal-rights perspective. Such depictions, Gannon argues, reveal much about underlying cultural and historical relationships with the Other-whether other species or other peoples. He elucidates the changing interconnections between birds and humans in British Romanticism from Cowper to Clare, with particular attention to Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Byron, and Keats. Gannon then considers how birds are imagined by Native writers, including early Lakota authors and contemporary poets such as Linda Hogan and Joy Harjo. Ultimately he shows how the sensitive and far-reaching connections with nature forged by Native American writers encourage a more holistic reimagining of humankind's relationship to other animals. A study of the literary image of the bird in both British Romantic and contemporary Native American literature.
