Poetry
40 pages
5 Stars
This is a small, hand-stitched book by a gentle man. Mr. Hubbard is of mixed blood, and identifies as Native. His poems are from a Native perspective and deserve to be ranked up there with other, more well-known Native poets such as Joy Harjo and N. Scott Momaday.
The Only Language I Speak is Foreign really spoke to me. And answered some of my childhood questions. But my favorite one, at least for now, that will change as I reread the book, is Raining again (A Seattle Poem).
This book is available through Foothill Publishing at: http://foothillspublishing.com/2014/id95.htm and is truly worth the cost in money and more importantly in the time to read and reread. It belongs on the shelf of every lover of honest poetry.
