Sing with the Heart of a Bear

Immerse yourself in the profound exploration of Native American poetry with Kenneth Lincoln's "Sing with the Heart of a Bear."

Lincoln expertly navigates the cultural landscape, tracing the Renaissance's Wild Man imagery alongside the enduring themes of the Adamic myth and the lost Garden. This book also highlights the significance of "The Path on the Rainbow," the first anthology of American Indian verse, which served to enrich American literature, as noted by the esteemed Jorge Luis Borges. A vital read for anyone interested in American poetry, literary criticism, or the intellectual life of Indigenous peoples, "Sing with the Heart of a Bear" is an essential addition to any literary collection.
