Opening in the Sky is Armand Ruffo's first collection of poetry. Drawing from his Ojibway heritage, the author explores identity, alienation, liberation, love and loss. His poems examine the violence against the Native peoples and the land. Black-and-white illustrations by Leo Yerxa are also featured in the book. Ruffo brings together a powerful and sensitive collection of poetry that displays a fresh perspective of contemporary Native reality. This book is a must for anyone interested in Native poetry and a welcome addition to the growing body of literature by Native peoples in Canada.
