Poems for a New World

Connie Fife's new collection of poems extends an invitation to the mind and heart to come together as equal partners at the banquet table of mother Earth. She asks us to reflect on our contemporary directions and what we are doing to our fellow human beings and the environment. Reflecting Fife's viewpoint as a Cree, mother and lesbian, these poems cross boundaries, speaking to each of us in our "separate homelands" reminding us of the healing power of song, words and deeds. The poems are beautifully complemented with cover art from the painting "Comes a Woman" by the Native painter Francis Dick.
