We Live Here

- Poems for an Ojibwe Calendar Year

We Live Hereaf Lois Beardslee
Bag om We Live Here

Anishinaabe author Lois Beardslee shares how a life is lived within two cultures, revealing a worldview shaped by language and customs and expressed through verse both playful and somber. This collection of poems is a lattice of traditional wisdom, word play, and cunning modernity that forms a distinctive creative voice. Experiences of duality overlay an Anishinaabe annual cycle, emphasizing the practical nature of traditions and their dependence upon the landscape in which they develop over time. Poems like "Waatebagaagiizis" and "Gidanimibiisaa na" reveal the fortitude that maintains traditions against the encroaching backdrop of modernity. Others such as "Namegosag" and "Minowichige" playfully connect a moment's experience to the everyday practices that have endured, many through the author's own eyes, and others through kin spanning generations and cultures.
