Children of the Great Muskeg - Ferris, Sean

Clean, tight, unmarked; crease to bottom front corner; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; The Cree and Metis children of Northern Ontario, living in Moosonee and Moose Factory Island, are children of the Great Muskeg, that awesome haunted expanse of stunted spruce, tamarack, bogs and ferns that is their peoples' physical and spiritual homeland. The bush hovers at the edges of these subarctic settlements: an elemental force in their imaginative lives. In Ferris' book, you can focus on these children as artists. Experiencing the powerful images in their work (poetry, prose, visual art) you enter a world where the people and the earth are one mind. You smell woodsmoke and hear Canada geese honk their way down the Moose River to the bay; you shiver in blizzards before the dreaded Windigo.
