"Long Time Ago," text of Leslie Marmon Silko's poem

Below is the link to the Leslie Marmon Silko poem I mentioned the other day.  You will find it in the center of two of her books, Storyteller and in Ceremony.  Why the center?  In Pueblo culture, the beginning is the center, out of which all flows (unlike a linear model).

  2. Yes, I have used it before and recommend it with this proviso: Use in the classroom with discretion because it is graphic.
