Even the rich, blue color on the back of her poetry book is attractive and catches the reader’s attention. According to the short biography in the back of her book, Laura Da’ is a member of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma and has been named one of Sherman Alexie’s top ten Native American poets. “Tributaries” was published by The University of Arizona Press in 2015, so this book is yet another work that is contem- porary. In “Tributaries,” Da’ writes about the Shawnee Native American experience drawing from past events like the Indian Removal in the 1830’s and events from the present, such as powwows set up like small town fairs attracting tourists. Her poems are written in no distinct form. In fact they read like very short stories at times. There are 30 poems in this 70 page book and most of her poems stick to the theme of the Shaw- nee experience and history. Some poems in this book are very powerful, such as Photo courtesy of trbimg.com “Winter Dance of the Oldest Child.” One of the three sec- Jeb Bush has collected more than $120 million from super PACs. tions of this poem is particularly gut wrenching.
