Batoche and Riel have evoked and provoked a diversity of responses from some of Canada’s finest poets over the past century, and this groundbreaking anthology presents them in one volume.
"No Feather, No Ink...gives us a good sampling of the first hundred years in the Canadian consciousness." .
The prose, poetry, and song lyrics in this anthology focus on Louis Riel and Batoche. The book includes selections from Riel, Gabriel Dumont, and other noted writers, both historic and contemporary. Included are a table of contents, art work by Henry Letendre, and archival photographs of Riel.
This book—a compilation of poetry by some Métis
but mostly non-Métis poets—was one of many books
published to commemorate the centenary of the 1885
Resistance. Most of its poems and songs deal with Louis
Riel and his role in fostering resistance
