Greenfield Center, Greenfield Review, (1974). Her first book, a collection of poems published by Abenaki writer and publisher Joseph Bruchac's press. This copy belonged to fellow Native American writer James Welch and bears his stamp, "WELCH," on the title page. Silko's first exposure to wide readership came in The Man to Send Rain Clouds, a 1974 anthology of fiction. She had several stories in the collection, one of which was selected for Martha Foley's Bicentennial anthology, 200 Years of American Short Stories, a remarkable honor for a writer who had not even had a book of fiction published at that point. In 1974, James Welch published Winter in the Blood, his first novel, following up on his first book, the poetry collection Riding the Earthboy 40. A nice association copy. Very near fine in stapled wrappers. [#026353] SOLD
