Leonard Peltier, I Am Everyone, in Prison Writings. My Life Is My Sun Dance, Edited by Harvey Arden, Introduction by Chief Arvol Looking Horse, Preface by Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, St. Martin's Press, New York, NY, 1999

I am everyone who ever died without a voice or a prayer or a hope or a chance… everyone who ever suffered for being an Indian, for being human, for being indigenous, for being free, for being Other, for being committed… I am every one of them. Every single one. Yes. Even you. I am everyone.

Read this beautiful couplet in a book;

"Ek sabab marne ka, ek talab jeene ki, chand pukhraj ka, raat pashmine ki."

" A reason to die, a craving to live. A topaz moon, a velvety pashmina night."

कर तो लूंं एतिराफ़ - ए - मोहब्बत

तुम फसाना बना तो न दोगे

मैं तुम्हे खत तो लिख दूँ

मगर तुम दोस्तों को दिखा तो न दोगे

In my continuing quest to learn more about Laura Ingalls Wilder as a writer beyond the Little House books, one of the most surprising things I've learned is that apparently she wrote a small collection of cutesy poems about nature fairies.

They were originally published in a children's column in the San Francisco Bulletin in 1915, and are apparently about a couple of fairy characters who paint flowers and bring dewdrops and bring about other natural phenomena. This post goes into more detail about the poems, and the interesting blend of practicality and whimsy that goes into her presentation of fairies.

It also provides one of the poems.

And this quote about the importance of giving children fairy tales that's almost Chestertonian.

Wilder explained why she preferred such magical images of natural processes in a column for the Missouri Ruralist called “Look for Fairies Now.” She argued that children needed tales of fairies to help them see beyond the surface and to use their imaginations. In the olden days, she explained, farmers left some of their harvest for the Little People who “worked hard in the ground to help the farmer grow his crops.” Perhaps this idea was just superstition, she continued, “but I leave it to you if it has not been proved true that where the ‘Little People’ of the soil are not fed the crops are poor. We call them different names now, nitrogen and humus and all the rest of it, but I always have preferred to think of them as fairy folk who must be treated right.

On the one hand, this feels like just another example of how it was apparently a requirement for female authors of a certain era to write cute nature fairy poems. But with the context of the quote, it's also surprisingly fitting for who she is as an author.

#books #poetry #laura ingalls wilder #the couple of books i've reread have me more interested in her writing as writing #her style her storytelling structure her outlook #most of the discussion of her i've seen rarely goes beyond 'this is how the books match/differ from her life'#or 'let's talk about the indians'#at most you might get 'she learned description by being mary's eyes'#(which is really just another facet of the biography obsession)#yes she drew those books from her life but let's examine *how* she wrote about it #even rose's dismissive 'her books read like a grandma telling stories until i got my hands on them' overlooks her very real prose styling #there's this ongoing campaign to present laura as just 'a sweet old lady writing down her memories'#but she had years of writing experience!#even if she wrote her best work in collaboration she brought a lot of talent to that collaboration!#let's examine the style! the choices about how to tell the story!#there's a lot here that's not just biography--it's art! let's talk about it!#and apparently the only way to do that is to look at her writing beyond little house

Leonard Peltier, Prison Writings. My Life Is My Sun Dance, Edited by Harvey Arden, Introduction by Chief Arvol Looking Horse, Preface by Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, St. Martin's Press, New York, NY, 1999

Doing time creates a demented darkness of my own imagination… Doing time does this thing to you. But, of course, you don’t do time. You do without it. Or rather, time does you. Time is a cannibal that devours the flesh of your years day by day, bite by bite.
