The poems in Luci Tapahonso's A Radiant Curve inhabit a world defined by a fusion of the history of colonization with traditional Navajo stories of creation. The poem “In 1864” remembers the Long Walk in the course of a car trip that apparently retraces part of the ancestors’ journey into exile.

biodiversity and the sustainability of all species--to the oblivion of many Americans. Biologist Rachel Carson reveals the consequences of similar poisons purging on the natural world in her book, Silent Spring, in which she uses a myriad of rhetorical strategies such as diction, syntax, and pathos in order to convey the gravity of Earth’s current situation to her readers.

Technology and business are very important !! I remember seeing Ben & Jerry's ice cream cups in 7-Eleven next to Haagen Dazs products.

I hope when they do decide to come back to Japan, as many foreign
