Synopsis "the woman who watches over the world,a native memoir"

I sat down to write a book about pain and ended up writing about love, says award-winning Chickasaw poet and novelist Linda Hogan. In this book, she recounts her difficult childhood as the daughter of an army sergeant, her love affair at age fifteen with an older man, the legacy of alcoholism, the troubled history of her adopted daughters, and her own physical struggles since a recent horse accident. She shows how historic and emotional pain are passed down through generations, blending personal history with stories of important Indian figures of the past such as Lozen, the woman who was the military strategist for Geronimo, and Ohiesha, the Santee Sioux medical doctor who witnessed the massacre at Wounded Knee. Ultimately, Hogan sees herself and her people whole again and gives an illuminating story of personal triumph. This wise and compassionate offering deserves to be widely read.--Publishers Weekly, starred review

Linda Hogan (Denver, 1947) es escritora, poeta y ensayista de origen chickasaw, y una de las voces fundamentales de la literatura indígena contemporánea. Su escritura nace de una cosmovisión que entrelaza espiritualidad nativa, conocimiento ancestral y una honda conciencia ecológica. Autora de la novela Mean Spirit (finalista del Premio Pulitzer), de poemarios como Rounding the Human Corners (nominado al Pulitzer) y The History of Kindness, y de libros de no ficción como The Woman Who Watches Over the World y The Radiant Lives of Animals, ha recibido, entre otros reconocimientos, la Beca Guggenheim y el Premio a la Trayectoria del Círculo de Escritores Nativos de las Américas. En 2023, fue distinguida con el Doctorado Honoris Causa en Letras Humanas por la Universidad de Colorado. Moradas. Una historia espiritual del mundo viviente condensa de manera especialmente nítida la singularidad de su mirada y ocupa un lugar central dentro de su obra.
