Works by Jim Ottery appear in new anthology

Jim Ottery, assistant professor of English, wrote the foreword to Wisconsin Indian Literature: Anthology of Native Voices, published by the University of Wisconsin Press and edited by Kathleen Tigerman. The book also features an excerpt from the essay "Rhetorical Sovereignty" as well as the poem "Samson Occom's Diary," both written by Ottery, who is a registered member of the Brotherown Indians of Wisconsing Tribe. The poem previously appeared in The Bedfore Anthology of American Literature.
