Language is the transformative tool as at the author imagines herself in the position of both explorers and explored peoples.

It Was Then: Diagram of the Elemental, poems $12.978-0-9837995-7-3 2012. 74 pp. Award-winning writer and filmmaker’s Kansas City and area memories of poverty, stockyards, Cherokee father, survival. Diane Glancy’s new 
book of verse experiments with biography as lyric. She shares the compelling story of her Cherokee father’s work in a meatpacking plant. She selects memories and images that dramatize his story, one that speaks to me because my Native grandfather also worked in the same meatpacking plant in Kansas City. This is poor people’s work, dangerous and physically difficult. This is the backdrop for Glancy’s book-length meditation on children’s resilience, families, loss, survival, and faith. This is one of Glancy’s most emotional and effective compositions.”
“Diane Glancy has established herself as one of the country’s most versatile and prolific writers. Distinguished by her laconic honesty, she presents Native American life—especially the ways it intersects with non-native culture—in all its complexity and nuance.” Jessica Bennett, Univ. of North Dakota
