The Eagle's Cry

by Robert G. Longpré

A name he was never allowed to keep. A woman he has never stopped seeing. William is a Jungian psychotherapist in Saskatoon who has built a careful and predictable with clients whose inner lives he tends with more skill than his own. He is comfortable. He is alone. And yet something is coming apart. When a mysterious woman named Hannah walks into his office that careful life begins to unravel. At the same time, a sponsored book project draws him back into the orbit of Marlene, a Métis poet and therapist from Île-à-la-Crosse whom he has never forgotten since their university days.
As William is pulled deeper into the work of writing about the soul, the boundary between his waking life and his dream life begins to dissolve. The Seven Grandfather Teachings of the Anishinaabe arrive not as lessons but as lived experience.
The Eagle's Cry is a novel about the damage done when a man is denied his own name and ancestry, and the long and uncomfortable work of becoming whole. It is not a comfortable read. It does not offer easy resolution. What it offers instead is the truth of how healing actually moves — slowly, in the dark, through dreams and failure and the presence of one person willing to stay.
