Gerald Vizenor

    22 oktober 1934

    Gerald Vizenor is een gevierde Anishinaabe-schrijver en academicus wiens werk thema's van inheemse identiteit en cultuur onderzoekt met een unieke literaire benadering. Zijn uitgebreide oeuvre verkent de complexiteit van storytelling en onderzoekt hoe inheemse tradities kunnen worden behouden en hergeïnterpreteerd door middel van verhalen. Vizenors schrijven wordt gekenmerkt door speelse taalkundige inventiviteit en filosofische diepgang, wat lezers een tot nadenken stemmende en verrijkende ervaring biedt. Zijn literaire nalatenschap ligt in zijn vermogen om traditionele narratieve vormen te overstijgen en tegelijkertijd inheemse stemmen te eren en te vieren.

      Almost Ashore is a selection of new and nurtured poems. The scenes are sentiments of survivance, and a tease of nature in original haiku poems. The imagistic scenes and associations are similar to the visual images in Anishinaabe, or Chippewa, traditional dream songs, mythic by nature and connected by images of natural reason.
