The beauty and hard truth of the poems in Winter Woman can help us unite and survive as a people. In Wind, Jennifer Soule writes about the South Dakota landscape: she and the motorcycle become one with the wind. In another poem she walks out to meet the November sunset. In September Departs, the annual planting of tubers contrasts with the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Haunting Soule's book are oppressed and impoverished people: A young Lakota man is found stuffed dead into a trash can and the ghosts of Long Time Owl Woman and others roam the golf course, built over the graves of 189 souls. Some of Soule's poems integrate historic documents revealing abuse suffered by Native Americans in the Hiawatha Asylum for Insane Indians during the 1920s and '30s. In Hannah's House a homeless mom gives her hooded sweatshirt to a shivering girl at the bus stop. When her own kids ask why, she says: We all somebody's love child.
