 Stemming from her work with anthropology, she writes about bones auctioned, objects sold, and bodies stuffed for our edification in a museum display.Those dead Indians both form the phantoms that haunt her poetry and at the same time are given new life and the chance to speak out in her poetry.But perhaps the most incredible element Rose's poetry is her ability to capture the hard truth behind the Native American experience and make it accessible to non-Native readers.
