'Flint and Feather: Collected Verse' by E. Pauline Johnson is an exquisite collection of poetry that showcases the heart and soul of Canada's greatest poet. Johnson's work, born from her experiences of the ancient legends of the Iroquois and the great works of English literature, travels around Canada, and natural scenery, has a timeless quality that still resonates today. Her vivid descriptions of Canadian lakes, rivers, mountains, trees, and fauna capture the Canadian soul's gentle loneliness and exotic fascination with faraway places. With themes of nationalism, nature, and survival, Johnson's poetry is a must-read for anyone looking to immerse themselves in Canadian literature. Here's an excerpt from one of the many poems included in this collection, 'The Cattle Thief': "They were coming across the prairie, they were galloping hard and fast / For the eyes of those desperate riders had sighted their man at last— / Sighted him off to Eastward, where the Cree encampment lay / Where the cottonwoods fringed the river, miles and miles away."
