| Island of the Innocent: A Consideration on the Book of Job | When I applied for the Baron Fellowship in Creative Writing, I had a manuscript-in-progress called, Quadrille, a four-part work at the junction of Christianity and the eastern Native American. For many years I have given voice to those who did not have a chance to speak, or whose words were not recorded— Pushing the Bear, the 1838-39 Cherokee Trail of Tears. Stone Heart, Sacajawea and the 1804-06 Lewis & Clark expedition. The Reason for Crows, Kateri Tekakwitha, a 17th century Mohawk, converted by the Jesuits. |
