Flint and Feather: Collected Verse

Flint and Feather: Collected Verse is a poetry collection by E. Pauline Johnson, first published in 1895. The poems reflect Johnson's experiences as a mixed-blood Mohawk, exploring themes of Indigenous identity, love, nature, and resilience. The title symbolizes her dual heritage, with 'flint' representing her Mohawk ancestry and 'feather' embodying her poetic voice. The collection is notable for its cultural significance and Johnson's role in Canadian literature, as she was a pioneering Indigenous voice in the late 19th century.
