Publisher's summary

“Momaday must be ranked among the greatest of our contemporary writers.”—American Scholar

From Pulitzer Prize winner and revered literary master N. Scott Momaday, a beautiful and enchanting new poetry collection, at once a celebration of language, imagination, and the human spirit.

“Language and the imagination work hand in hand, and together they enable us to reveal us to ourselves in story. That is indeed a magical process. . . . We imagine and we dream, and we translate our dreams into language.” —from the Preface

A singular voice in American letters, Momaday’s love of language and storytelling are on full display in this brilliant new collection comprising one hundred sketches or “dream drawings”—furnishings of the mind—as he calls them. Influenced by his Native American heritage and its oral storytelling traditions, here are prose poems about nature, animals, warriors, and hunters, as well as meditations that explore themes of love, loss, time, and memory. Each piece, full of wisdom and wonder, showcases Momaday’s extraordinary lyrical talent, the breadth of his imagination, and the transformative power of his writing.

Poignant, inspired, and timeless, this is a collection that will nourish the soul.

Beautiful Book from a Singular Voice

N. Scott Momaday perofrms his book beautifully. Dream drawings is a lyrical, profound work of poetry. As one of his later books he wrote and read aloud, I treasure it dearly.
