Diane Glancy is an associate professor of English at Macalester College. She is the author of Claiming Breath (Nebraska 1992), which won the North American Indian Prose Award and an American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation; The West Pole; and other books of fiction, short stories, poetry, and essays."Glancy's is a major voice in the continuing process by which the complex interrelationship of American Indian culture to the broader American culture is working itself out, and The Cold-and-Hunger Dance must be read by everyone to whom that subject matters." World Literature Today; 'I am a marginal voice in several worlds,' explains Glancy in this collection of essays and poems that interweave her mixed-blood Cherokee heritage with her strong Christian beliefs. Her writing, she emphasizes, provides the matrix that makes the disparate parts of her life one story. Through the work gathered here, the reader is allowed to examine the life of the 'other' that Glancy has forged for herself as a writer." Library Journal; "The Cold-and-Hunger Dance... moves on the double piston of acceptance and rejection. Like words in her stories, she finds her identity in the dialogic relationship between presence and absence. She embraces words and adds voice to many voices to condone the way she has been treated as a 'mixed-blood' Cherokee, Christian woman writer. One must say, Glancy, in her effort, surely has earned a place in the boat where every indigenous person of the continent shivers from a common cold and needs to participate in a revitalizing dance."
