French/Canadian/Native poet Cheryl Savageau's poems tell of poverty, mixed ancestry and alliances, and strong family ties in a sweep of visions which trace both the progress of her life and influences and those of her family and friends. Lyrical, personal free verse. -- Midwest Book Review|Savageau's poetry is "Stirring, imagistic, and powerful."
—Ms.|"The view from Cheryl Savageau's poems sweeps horizon-wide. She does not flinch away from the pain of racism and self-denial, yet the Abenaki inheritance she claims gives her, and offers us, a woman's celebratory vision."

—Marilyn Nelson
