The Blind Man’s Eyes

  Author:   Rita Joe    
  Publisher:  Breton Books

With over 100 of her best poems plus George Elliott Clarke鈥檚 essay on the achievement of Rita Joe, The Blind Man鈥檚 Eyes confirms Joe鈥檚 place in Canadian literature.

From a homeless child who led a blind beggar door-to-door, Rita Joe emerged as spokesperson for her nation and for the individual鈥檚 heart. Her much anthologized poems and rare autobiography have riveted her message to the Canadian conscience, revealing both the Mi鈥檏maq people and the universal artist鈥檚 heart of this Elder.
