Description

In this debut collection, Joshua Whitehead delivers a cyberpunk dystopian vision of modern queer Indigenous life, where technology, language, and memory collide. Through a digital alter ego named Zoa, the poems unfold a “tribalography”—a living map of identity that traces how a colonized “I” is formed, coded, and then reclaimed. Blending sharp futurism with lyrical intimacy, the collection explores themes of Indigenous self-representation, queer survival, and the politics of storytelling. Whitehead’s distinctive voice—electric, inventive, and deeply grounded—turns the page into a site of resistance, inviting readers to witness what emerges when the self is rewritten on Indigenous terms.
