New Poets Of Native Nations

"In this first collection of Native-focused poetry since 1988, editor Heid E. Erdrich’s careful criterion for “nativeness” focuses less on the contributors’ “blood quantum” and more on the very American experiences they shared. For moments in which voices of people from tribal and native nations are searingly, explicitly, particularly necessary, New Poets Of Native Nations makes clear their song with verse as diverse and twisty as the lives of the writers themselves."
