In the 1870s large deposits of gold were found in the Black Hills of the U.S. Territory of Dakota. By treaty the land belonged to the indigenous people, the Sioux. But when thousands of prospectors flooded into the Black Hills the U.S Cavalry was dispatched to protect them. So began the bloody conflict that would lead to the displacement and humiliation of the original inhabitants of this area.

Produktbeschreibung
In the 1870s large deposits of gold were found in the Black Hills of the U.S. Territory of Dakota. By treaty the land belonged to the indigenous people, the Sioux. But when thousands of prospectors flooded into the Black Hills the U.S Cavalry was dispatched to protect them. So began the bloody conflict that would lead to the displacement and humiliation of the original inhabitants of this area. I wrote this series of poems because of my interest in the mystic and warrior Crazy Horse, of the Lakota tribe of the Sioux. Besides Crazy Horse I have used the voices of three characters: Crazy Horse's friend Little Big Man; Crazy Horse's lover, Black Buffalo Woman; and George Armstrong Custer, who led his battalion of the Seventh Cavalry to annihilation at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Although roughly based on historical incidents The Crazy Horse Suite is not a historical text. It is poetry. Its foundation is not fact but metaphor, image, sound. The narrative follows the historical course, but does so through dreamlike depictions of confusion, rage, pride, guilt, ecstasy, revelation, love and plain evil. I have presented the fight for the Black Hills by imagining the inner worlds of four participants in the events of that terrible time, and by turning those imaginings into poems.

Autorenporträt
Reviewers have said of Morgan Nyberg's Raincoast novels:
"One of the best series in the post-apocalyptic genre, hands down."
"An exquisitely formed vision of a broken world."
"On a par with McCarthy's The Road."
"The best I've read in a post-apocalyptic setting."
"This book (Since Tomorrow) stunned me with its power and richness."
"Far and away the best of its genre."

Before writing the Raincoast series Nyberg had been a poet (The Crazy Horse Suite), an award-winning children's author (Galahad Schwartz and the Cockroach Army; Bad Day in Gladland) and a literary novelist (El Dorado Shuffle; Mr. Millennium). He had worked and lived in Canada, Ecuador and Portugal. He was teaching English in the Sultanate of Oman when he felt the need to confront in fictional form the ecological crisis facing Planet Earth. The Raincoast Saga, many years in the making, is the magnificent result.
