Prairie Midden

By Athena Kildegaard

In PRAIRIE MIDDEN, Athena Kildegaard delves into the archives and recovers and revivifies what was kept of the voices of settler women. She brings them into conversation with this moment--weaving a braid of voices from 19th century all the way to the 21st. These voices that build across centuries are at turns poignant, ruminative, and elegiac for not only people but also the prairie. They speak to settler and settled life in a place shaped in the name of "progress." I appreciate the way this moving collection brings me into these lives, and as the speaker of one of the "Dear prairie daughters" poems says "the only connections are the ones we make." You'll be grateful to connect with Prairie Midden. --Sean Hill, author of Dangerous Goods
