Women's History Month


November is National Native American Heritage Month and in honor of this nation’s first people and their rich history, we are featuring books by Indigenous authors who continue the tradition of storytelling to explore Native identity, challenge stereotypes and historical fallacies, and to connect the past with the present.

"This year, I was struck by how many of the books are debuts, and how many of them manage to masterfully walk that tightrope line of tone — they’re often hilarious and moving in equal measure, while interrogating the difficult topics of colonialism, white supremacy, generational trauma, and cycles of addiction, displacement, and dispossession (just to name a few)."

"It wasn’t until I started publishing some stories that I knew I was writer, not because of the publishing necessarily, but because the publishing allowed me to see the two sides of writing: the act of creation versus the business side. I’m drawn so much more the former, and it’s there that I knew I was a writer."

"Another person on Twitter says what I do isn’t poetry. I tweet 'that’s okay. My bank account thinks what I do is poetry hashtag on my way to deposit checks.' I cackle. I delete the Tweet. I’m not actually on my way to deposit checks. I’m in a hotel lobby, writing."
