Voices of a People's History of the United States

primary-source companion to Howard Zinn's best-selling A People's
History of the United States. It features the words of rebels,
dissenters and visionaries from our past -- and present.

Publisher Comments:
Here's the myth: Native Americans are people of great spiritual depth, in touch with the rhythms of the earth, rhythms that they celebrate through drumming and dancing. They love the great outdoors and are completely in tune with the natural world. They can predict the weather by glancing at the sky, or hearing a crow cry, or somehow. Who knows exactly how? The point of the myth is that Indians are, well, special. Different from white people, but in a good way. The four young male Native American poets whose work is brought together in this startling collection would probably raise high their middle fingers in salute to this myth. These guys--and guys they are--don't buy into the myth. Their poems aren't about hunting and fishing or bonding with animal spirits. Their poems are about urban decay and homelessness, about loneliness and despair, about Payday Loans and 40-ounce beers, about getting enough to eat and too much to drink. And there is nothing romantic about their poetry, either. It is written in the vernacular of mean streets: often raw and coarse and vulgar, just like the lives it describes. Sure, they write about life on the reservation. However, for the Indians in their poems, life on the reservation is a lot like life in the city, but without the traffic. These poets are sick to death of the myth. You can feel it in their poems. These poets are bound by a common attitude as well as a common heritage. All four--Joel Waters, Steve Pacheco, Kurt Schweigman (who writes under the name Luke Warm Water), and Trevino L. Brings Plenty--are Sioux, and all four identify themselves as Skins (as in Redskins). In their poems, they grapple with their heritage, wrestling with what it means to be a Sioux and a Skin today. It's a fight to the finish.]]> http://trevinobringsplenty.com/news.html#58 Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0800 Trevino Brings Plenty - Trevino Brings Plenty - News http://trevinobringsplenty.com/news.html#57 Red Ink Magazine Fall Vol.13, No. 2]]> http://trevinobringsplenty.com/news.html#57 Mon, 03 Dec 2007 00:00:00 -0800 Trevino Brings Plenty - Trevino Brings Plenty - News http://trevinobringsplenty.com/news.html#55 You have to fast forward to the second band.

I like me. I did a vanity search on my name to find what is out there. I came across an article from "Art in America," Oct. 2006. It was about an exhibit I was part of at the Institute of American Indian Arts. All publicity is good publicity.

Check it and tell me what you think.]]> http://trevinobringsplenty.com/news.html#52 Tue, 30 Jan 2007 00:00:00 -0800 Trevino Brings Plenty - Trevino Brings Plenty - News http://trevinobringsplenty.com/news.html#51 Performative Poetry Reading on opening night.
