"Grandmother, you who listen and hear all, you from whom all good things come...It is your embrace we feel when we return to you...” This traditional Lakota prayer to Grandmother Earth opens Joseph Marshall III''s newest work, a meditation on our connection to the land and an exhortation to respect it. Using a combination of personal anecdote, detailed history, and Lakota tales, Marshall takes us back to his childhood and shows us how we, too, can learn to love our planet. Although he was educated in Euro-American schools, Marshall had the benefit of growing up with wise grandparents who taught him never to walk a path without knowing the trail from which he''d come: that the bow does not make the hunter, and above all, that the earth can be boundlessly generous-if we can learn to accept its gifts.

This volume presents a comprehensive index of poetry explications printed during the period 1925-1949, inclusive. Poems selected are of fewer than five hundred lines, and arranged alphabetically by author and title. Poets chosen must be generally recognized by the reading public. Explications must concern the whole poem, not the poet or circumstances of composition, and must not be from a source devoted to a single author. Explications are sourced from general critical assessments of currently published poetry and literary periodicals.

In the mythic tradition of the Lakota, the bow and arrow were more than just tools—they were symbols of flexibility and strength. In this treasury of teaching stories, history, and piercing cultural insights, storyteller and craftsman Joseph Marshall III considers the metaphor of the bow and arrow as a path to personal growth, better resilience, and a life lived with true integrity.

In the early 2000s of our current calendar, a social movement arose to popularity across the world. At first, anti-theists around the world were overjoyed at the new movement that eventually became known as the New Atheist movement, or simply New Atheism. As the years went by, atheists around the world began to see the growing supressed and repressed anger in the rallying cries of the spokespersons of this movement. Yet the general populace of discontent and disenfranchised middle-class males, and a smaller number of persons of various backgrounds, seemed to find their niche in this movement. The movement appeared to become a voice for those who were searching for meaning outside synagogues, mosques, churches, and temples. New Atheism often resonated with the frustrations and other issues that atheists and especially anti-theists harboured within these individuals. On the social media of these devoted followers, there began plans for events, and to establish internet media into their own personal voice. This was their chance to change and inform the world. It was their chance to vent their frustrations about negative religious content, especially the negativity associated with monotheism. However, they did not critique religion. They lambasted it with mockery and ridicule that made other atheists and religious followers remark on their Christianised fundamentalism. Their almost religious vision, however, was not just skewed by psychological issues, but a blindness to their own, and their leaders, "enlightened intellect." Not only did they fail to see that religion is more than just monotheism, they also failed to use the very science they claim was their rallying call. So centred were they on their self-righteousness that the followers of this movement did not realize they had been hoodwinked into a new religion. So much so that they saw themselves as an ark of salvation for all humankind, and a Bifrost bridge to an enlightened god-like intellect. In all truth though, they only established their destiny as a tool for Ragnarok.
