About This Quote

The Storyteller Poems is a collection of poems by American author Louise Erdrich. It consists of five poems that tell about the life of a storyteller, who tells stories to his grandchildren. The poems are not only about the storyteller's life, but also about the stories he tells. The last poem in the book, titled “No One Could Say That Those Stories Were Useless”, is a reflection of the author's gratefulness to people who shared their wonderful stories with her.
