Chris Bose's profile page

This is not just anybody's book. It's a nation's book. It's a book of poetry that awakens dull consciousness to ask questions. In doing so, Chris Bose transcends borders and boundaries on a journey of shining blood, boldness and courage. He is courageous. His poetry exposes raw reform and well-articulated pain experienced by young First Nations in Canada today. Stone the Crow is an excellent read.- Garry Gottfriedson (M.Ed, Poet and Activist)The language of the poems in Stone the Crow, a collection that traces Chris Bose's journey as he - a lone, far from impassive NDN - survives the inarticulate, intoxicated streets of capitalism's cities, might be mistaken for overheard conversation, except for the vivid ironies, ideas and hope it finally expresses. "...words jangled out/ of my mouth/ fluttering like razorblade butterflies/..." And the urban Indian becomes a lover, a father and, yes, a poet. -Daniel David Moses (Six Nations Delaware, poet, playwright)
