My Seneca Village by Nelson

Poetry illustrated in the poet's own words - with brief prose descriptions of what she sees inside her work -- this exquisite collection takes readers back in time and deep into the mind's eye of Marilyn Nelson. A girl ponders being free-but-not-free. Orphaned brothers get gold fever. A conjurer sees past his time and into ours. The voices of a multi-ethnic, multi-racial 19th century Manhattan neighborhood are rising again One of America's most honored writers - a Newbery Honor medalist, Coretta Scott King Medalist and National Book Award nominee -draws upon history, and her astonishing imagination, to revive the long lost community of Seneca Village.

Marilyn Nelson has won a Newbery Honor, a Printz Honor, and many Coretta Scott King Honors, as well as several important poetry honors, including the Poets' Prize and the Robert Frost Medal. She is a three-time National Book Award Finalist. She has received three honorary doctorates and has recently served as a judge for poetry candidates at the National Endowment for the Arts and Yaddo.
