In the Shadow Country

By Elena Cisneros

Poetry. Native American Studies. 2018 Wrolstad Contemporary Poetry Series Selection. IN THE SHADOW COUNTRY, Elena Cisneros' debut full-length poetry collection, is a book that takes place after-hours, its stories and concerns grounded in the unlit places of Middle America. Through lamplight, moonlight, blood sunrises, and fireflies, Cisneros' lyrics illuminate the vast prairies of South Dakota and the corners of our country's difficult histories. This extraordinary book, populated by revenants and ghosts, is an emotional ballot that asks us to choose between remembrance and forgetting.
