“Something Small of How to See a River‘ chronicles a vivid landscape of the struggle for sovereignty, dignity, and survival on the Standing Rock Reservation. The poet calls forth the full humanity of those standing in solidarity with the land and their children’s futures. The poet is smuggling a fresh groundwater swell of realfolk stories to testify alongside and against the sludge of headline misinformation, police reports, municipal records, and statistics. Working in the true sense of a liberatory project, here is honest, bracing news for the weary but unwavered.” —Tyehimba Jess, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Olio
We'll gather at 7:00 to talk about the book, and then at 7:30 Teresa will join us via Zoom to answer questions and read some poems.
