Desert Teeth by Boderra Joe
———
ABOUT: Landscape and perspective flood Boderra Joe’s Desert Teeth, a collection of poetry that unfolds the wakening shift of scarred violence affecting native people and land for centuries, where alcohol and uranium, two of many elements, continue to take the lives of our relatives. Each poem lingers and holds the face of the reader through deep explorations of grief, family, identity, and love. These poems walk out on their own with the memories and images that flicker by, like a thought too frightened to talk. The vulnerability and rawness in each poem expands the perspective, longing for closure, acceptance, and understanding. Each poem lives in language and landscape, all while the haunting violence interferes. Beauty has its way of revealing itself.

“hummingbird heart” is a zine about inversion of the cishet white, male gaze, alienation, desire, loneliness, queerness, and other “ness”es.

We are so excited to share our book announcement for THE LANGUAGES OF OUR LOVE: AN INDIGENOUS LOVE AND SEX ANTHOLOGY which will be published by Abalone Mountain Press. Release date is set for July 26th, 2022. Thank you all so much for your submissions and we are stoked to showcase so many amazing poets, writers, storytellers, and artists!!!
