Written from a contemporary Cherokee, Queer and mixed-race experience, these poems confront a legacy of land-theft, genocide, and forced removal, and resist ongoing attacks on both Indigenous and Gay/ Lesbian/ Bisexual /Transgender communities. Tender, startling, confrontational and erotic, this book honors the dead and brings the survivors back home.

I've had the privilege of seeing Qwo-Li read several times in Seattle. Hir work is groundbreaking and inspiring. This book is a thought-provoking, oppression-ending read -- Powerful on all accounts.

A Must Read,
By B. B. Chaud (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walking with Ghosts (Earthworks Series) (Paperback)
The entire Earthworks series is groundbreaking--Driskill's contribution stands out as a fiercely political, unflinching, yet tender collection from an emerging talent. Strong imagery and tight composition leave no doubts that Driskill is one to watch. Very highly recommended.
