The first poet I am discussing in this piece is Mary TallMountain, who read the piece “the last wolf”. Connecting this with the narratives of the people of colour in the United States, it is evident that the poem goes against the past narratives of the coloured people of the United States. For example, the narrator reads the last lines of the poem as if she is aware of the source of the wolf’s sorrow. Through this, the narrator is portrayed as one who is concerned about what happens in nature, and as a just being. This perception brings a different perspective from what the people of colour of the United States believe. The narratives of the people of colour in the US are characterized by the themes of discrimination. Such are not brought out well in “The last wolf”. This is evident as Mary TallMount describes her place of childhood.

The other poet who comes with a different perspective from what is common in the narratives of American peoples is Garret Kalou in the piece “Obon: Dance for the Dead”. Kalou brings up the theme of war in an Asian setting. This is not very common in American Japanese peoples. Additionally, the poet brings out the issues of farming, which are not very common in Japanese narratives. Going by the title of the poem, the word O’bon is to a greater extent representative of the cultural-spiritual events and festivities of the Asian people’s. The poet, however, has diverted our attention to issues of his own rather than the real issues that are characteristic of the narratives of the colored peoples of America.
