The Book of Medicines

Hogan has tapped into her ancestrial history and brought to light the importance of connection back to nature and how much we need it in our lives.Hogan takes her readers through history and rewrites/transforms the mythology of our beginnings. In short it seems that Hogan says Nature was here before man and can live without man, man however, cannot live without nature and now, with the destruction that man has caused and continues to cause to nature, we are dependant upon each other to survive. It is our job, mans, to correct our errors, that we may all continue to live in the centuries to come, that our children's children may enjoy the beauty and wonder of towering trees, mysterious animals, and colorful flowers, along with the flowing waters of rivers, lakes and the ocean at large.Hogan is amazing in her works, a must read for any reader. With her works, the possibilities are endless.

NOT WHAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE

One of the best poetry books I have ever read. Touching and beautiful poems that will cling to your thoughts and heart. Cuts straight to the heart of what it is to be Indian today, but relates to everyone. Pain, healing, birth, rebirth, discovery: I found myself woven between these pages. Thank you, Linda Hogan, for sharing your soul.

Hagan is great. once you read her you will be like me and turn into a serious addict. her words are mesmerizing and captivating. give this a try and you wont regret the choice or the cost. also read savings

Loss, redemption, ruptures and healings. From the roots of a native perspective, Hogan chants vivid stories in poems that illuminate and heal. With true magic, she opens us to greater depth and vision through the power of words that haunt and whisper and eventually compel us to change. Raise yourself up and read this collection.

I am delighted with the book, it is in good condition, and it is one I have been looking for, for a long time. The book arrived early, in spite of the pandemic and busy post office!
