Gordon Henry In Concert at UUFCM

11/15/2012

 
Picture
The UUFCM is proud to present celebrated Anishinabe writer and American Book Award recipient Gordon Henry in a performance of poetry, prose, story and song with musicians Mike Gilmore and Mike Johnston on Thursday, November 29 at 7:00 p.m. at the UUFCM. In lieu of a set admission cost, a $5 donation will gladly be accepted. This unique cultural event is open to all – though not recommended for children under age 12.

Henry’s novel, The Light People, won an American Book Award in 1995, and his poetry, prose and essays have appeared in numerous journals and anthologies throughout the U.S. and Europe. His work is informed by long-time participation in ceremonies and by his personal reflections on Anishinabe life, place and relations. His most recent book, The Failure of Certain Charms and Other Disparate Signs of Life, published in 2007, is a collection of poetry and prose, combining the languages and imagery of dreams, songs, ceremonies, cultural memories, autobiography and Native American tales.

Gordon Henry is an enrolled member of the White Earth Chippewa Tribe of Minnesota. He received an MA in creative writing from Michigan State University and a PhD in English from the University of North Dakota. He is professor of English at Michigan State University. Formerly director of creative writing for MSU’s English Department, he is currently director of MSU’s Native American Institute. He is also senior editor for the Native American Studies Series.
