\u00a0On October 11, in the Olson Center from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.<\/strong>\u00a0Gordon Henry will perform with musicians Mike Gilmore and Mike Johnston. \u00a0The performance will include traditional Anishinaabe stories and songs, as\u00a0well as poetry and prose from Henry\u2019s work. For some parts of the performance Henry will sing with a hand drum; for other parts of the performance\u00a0Henry will recite his work while accompanied by Johnston and Gilmore.<\/p>\n

Henry\u2019s novel, The Light People, won an American Book Award in 1995, and his poetry, prose and essays have appeared in numerous journals and anthologies throughout the U.S. and Europe. His work is informed by long time participation in ceremonies and by his personal reflections on Anishinaabe life, place and relations. His most recent book, The Failure of Certain Charms and Other Disparate Signs of Life, published in 2007, is a collection of poetry and prose, combining the languages and imagery of dreams, songs, ceremonies, cultural memories, autobiography and Native American tales.<\/p>\n

Gordon Henry is an enrolled member of the White Earth Chippewa Tribe of Minnesota.\u00a0He received an MA in Creative Writing from Michigan State University and a PhD in English from the University of North Dakota. He is Professor of English at Michigan State University. Formerly director of creative writing for MSU\u2019s English Department, he is currently director of\u00a0MSU\u2019s Native American Institute. He is also senior editor for the Native American Studies Series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
