Description
This powerful poetry collection journeys through the wounds of displacement, cultural erasure, and violence while reaching toward love, belonging, and renewal. Drawing on Muscogee heritage, ancestral memory, political history, and intimate experience, the poems explore the enduring struggles of Indigenous peoples in modern America alongside the transformations possible through relationships and change. With lyric intensity and a visionary sense of time—where history, language, and the living world remain closely connected—the collection turns personal and collective suffering into an affirmation of resilience and connection.
