Poetry. Native American Studies. Eloquent, poignant and witty, Garry Gottfriedson's new collection of poetry, WHISKEY BULLETS, approaches an old genre with a new flare that will challenge your expectations of cowboy poetry. This edgy collection explores themes of duality that exist in the parallel worlds of cowboys and Indians. Often satirical, Whiskey Bullets is a testament to adaptability, turning tragedy into humour and pain into passion. Garry Gottfriedson, a member of the Secwepemc First Nation, was born, raised and lives in Kamloops, BC. He is a self-employed rancher with a Masters degree in Education from Simon Fraser University. His published works include In Honor of Our Grandmothers: Imprints of Cultural Survival, 100 Years of Contact, Glass Tepee, nominated for First People's Publishing Award 2004, and Painted Pony, his first children's story.
