The idea
Bruchac, a member of the Abenaki tribe, has written more than one hundred and twenty books and published "Ellis Island" in nineteen seventy-five, in which the speaker describes immigrating. Revard, half Osage, was the first Native American to win a Rhodes Scholarship, in nineteen fifty-two.
In practice
Two poets working from tribal ground.
Where people slip
Revard writes Osage material and medieval England.
