ʺMarilou Awiakta is one of the rare writers whose words help readers see the world in a different way. Her weaving of essays, stories and poems in Selu: Seeking the Corn-Mother's Wisdom creates the sense of an ancient knowledge being brought to bear on modern problems. For the dominant culture of this country, she brings an inkling of the wisdom it has done its best to destroy, and the generosity of spirit that continues giving that wisdom as a gift.ʺ - Gloria Steinem, author of Revolution from Within and Moving Beyond Words.
