Author Talk with Indigenous Author Louis Clark

On his Facebook page, Louis Clark describes himself this way: “I'm a Native American Poet/Storyteller, graying around the temples but still full of life and dreams.”
“Born and raised on the Oneida Reservation in northeastern Wisconsin, Louis V. Clark III turned to poetry to continue the oral tradition of his people, the People of the Standing Stone. He is a member of the Iroquois Confederacy and of the Bear clan. His first chapbook, titled Two Shoes, was published in the spring of 2011 by the Sequoyah National Research Center at the University of Arkansas. His memoir How to Be an Indian in the 21st Century, published by the Wisconsin Historical Society Press, received the Midwest Booksellers Choice Award for 2017 and was recognized as a work of Outstanding Poetry by the Wisconsin Library Association. He received a Fellowship Award for his work from the Oneida Nation Arts Program and the Wisconsin Arts Board” (foxcitiesbookfestival.org).
Louis has also published a second book, Rebel Poet, More Stories of a 21st Century Indian. In this eagerly anticipated follow-up to his first book, the author delves more deeply into the themes of family, community, grief, and the struggle to make a place in the world when your very identity is considered suspect.
We are very blessed to have Louis living here in Wisconsin and even more excited that he has agreed to come and do an author “meet -and-greet” on Wednesday, November 30th at 5:30 pm at Caramel Crisp Corner! This event, sponsored by the Caramel Crisp Bookstore, is in recognition of Indigenous People’s month. Caramel Crisp Corner is located at 200 City Center Oshkosh, Suite D.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear the story of one of Oneida County’s indigenous residents, told in his own words.
