BOOKS

"My writings and collages take integral meaning as they stem
from dreams, ancestral memories and the many voices of Spirit.
Creativity has brought healing and deeper understanding to my life.
If I am not creating, I am stagnating, and a stagnating soul
is a starving soul."

when the Dead Dream

I cannot believe anyone with any degree of perception can read this book
and not be changed by it. Changed, certainly, in the way they see people
who are different, but also in relation to all that is around them, to time,
life and the universe, and ultimately how they view themselves.
-Doris Seale
Author of Blood Salt, Ghost Dance, co-editor/ author of Through Indian Eyes,
A Broken Flute, and cofounder of Oyate

One of the deep pleasures of reading is giving oneself over to a gifted storyteller for the duration of the trip. MariJo Moore eases our transition into her several worlds and then holds us there, willing us to travel roads that are winding, difficult and revelatory. When the Dead Dream may be her masterwork—a sinuous and stony path where we encounter monsters as well as jewels. It is not for the faint-hearted and not to be missed.

Confessions of a Madwoman
$13.00

Intensity. From “creativity is existence” to “my mind is. . .a wild bird” to “the last fire in hell/ smoldering” to “I want my divided soul to erupt/ dance naked around these stones.” Intensity you can’t avoid! Because it is determination, persistence, struggle and endurance, passion, creative fervor—“fires of creativity”—and exaltation of “how it is to be loved by a madwoman.” I might as well say it is truly an experience to read MariJo Moore’s Confessions of a Madwoman!
­ Simon J. Ortiz
Author of The Good Rainbow Road and Beyond the Reach of Time and Change

To be a poet is a madness circling one’s soul, a constant companion. Words bring MariJo to this beginning and ending, without hesitation she flies with wings un-fluttered by manmade events...to be true to her words are to live and be.
- Emoke B’Racz
Imre Margit lanya, poet, translator of Katalin Ladik

Moore's ancient instincts flash through these poems with a blood thirst for lawless imagination, the madness born of passion, and the indigenous honesty of lovely wilderness creatures.

Please Do Not Touch the Indians
by Joseph A. Dandurand
Award winning Kwalten Indian Poet from British Columbia
published By renegade planets publishing
$12.00

"One wants to admire the play, Please Do Not Touch The Indians, especially for its simultaneous resemblance to age-old folklore and modern, nonlinear theater.
A wily flycatcher, a boatful of singing fish, a two-headed baby, a seductive salmon, and a grandmother beset by prankster grandchildren...these are tales of resourcefulness, harmony, revelation, romance, remembrance...evocations perhaps, of life's synchronicity."
- L.A. Times

"Please Do Not Touch The Indians includes disturbing imagery but also spotlights positive images of love between an American Indian man and woman and between Indian parents
and their children -as well as the incredible strength Native people have had to develop to survive."
- News From Indian Country
