They're baaack.........as if They ever left. I assume its that time again. Time to write. Shit. Yes, I enjoy writing...when I'm done writing. The process itself drives me up a wall. Being a writer or an artist of any persuasion is arduous and excruciating. It has been said the best writers are those who write from experience.

Michael Spisak Full Circle, September 7, 2012
By Matthew Black Eagle Man
This review is from: Full Circle (Paperback Edition)

"Full Circle is powerfully intriguing. A story from a perspective of a native growing up away from his people and the rejection he receives from his people because of that. This story says a lot in a real and true way about the concept of your family history being born in you and linked to your DNA. Not just in a good way, but in all ways. A topic that could be spoken about forever.

What really pulled at me was I was remembering a time when I went to a powwow and a white mother **** wanted to charge me money to sit and sing and dance with my relatives. My wife and I had to drive away and I was so burning with anger, tears running down my face, I told my wife I wanted to find a white guy and kill him. Any one would do, and when I got done with that, I wanted to find another white guy and kill him and if I wasn't satisfied, I wanted to do it again. Later, I felt bad for these emotions, but now I realize even tho I grew up away from the rez, of which I am very glad, the anger and hatred that's perpetuated on the reservation still burned in me. Your book helped me to be aware of that. I imagine all native people have prob had thoughts that go in the direction that this book went, and I am proud to say that with finding the roots of our spiritual lives and my spiritual self, I don't have to live with that anger and frustration anymore. You did an awesome job. Fantastic. Bringing to light so much that is real without tapping into what is truly real - the spirituality that was given to our people. I started the book not liking you. I finished the book saying I can't wait to meet this guy. Take care."

~Matthew Black Eagle Man


Michael Spisak suggested by a reader, an excerpt from Full Circle, Chapter 24:

"...Jackson is still Jackson. He still looks like himself and has his memories and thoughts. There are no bikini bottoms and go-go boots under his clothes. He hasn’t attained any magic powers with the ability to change into a super hero. He accepts and finds peace.
With no one to assist him Jackson begins to interpret all that has been revealed to him these last three arduous days..."

do you have a favorite passage, line or paragraph? Let me know and I will post it. You can also post a passage but remember not to give away the story. No spoilers, m'kay? m'kay.....
