Tiffany Midge is a Native American poet (enrolled member, Standing Rock Sioux belong to the Hunkpapa Lakota). Her poetry is noted for its depiction of a self divided by differing identities, and for a strong streak of humor.〔"Like Sherman Alexie, Midge entertains with her wit and humor, but also reminds readers of the horrors of contemporary life, which are not spiders or the ghosts of Indians murdered in the late nineteenth century, but rather a hollow consumerism." Norma C. Wilson, "America's Indigenous Poetry" in ''The Cambridge Companion to Native American Literature'' (Cambridge UP, 2005), p. 157.〕 In 1997, Sherman Alexie named her as among up and coming writers, but claimed that she needed to move away from the influence of his style.〔("I think Tiffany Midge has a good future, once she stops copying me" ). Crossroads: A Conversation with Sherman Alexie, by John Purdy〕 She has also written short stories and erotica, including contributions to the collection ''Without Reservation'', edited by Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm. Her book ''Outlaws, Renegades and Saints: Diary of a Mixed-Up Halfbreed'' was awarded the Diane Decorah Poetry Award by the Native Writers Circle of the Americas in 1994.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 First Book Awards for Poetry from the Native Writers Circle of the Americas )〕 "Her poetry has been commissioned into a choral ensemble by composer Seppo Pohjola of Finland and adapted into the dramatic work, “Cedars,” produced by Red Eagle Soaring Native American Theater."〔 Among other activities, Midge now edits the poetry section of the arts magazine ''The Raven Chronicles.'' ==Bibliography== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tiffany Midge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
