鈥淥ld Woman with Berries in Her Lap鈥 by Vivian Faith Prescott

Through a single descendant鈥檚 voice that speaks to the S谩mi diaspora, this collection of poems is a journey through colonialism, transgenerational trauma, and identity. Many have heard of the S谩mi reindeer herders brought to 乐虎直播 by Sheldon Jackson in the 1800s, but not much is known about the S谩mi diaspora experiences in the state and beyond. The poems 鈥淥ld Woman with Berries in Her Lap鈥 use the North S谩mi language as well as graphics and various types of poetry to tell these stories of migration and diaspora.

鈥淲ater the Rocks Make鈥 by David McElroy

The poems of 鈥淲ater the Rocks Make鈥 commit into words the turbulence of emotion and thought stirred up by life鈥檚 events: family trauma, psychiatric instability, the legal system, the death of a loved one, identity, cultural displacement, work, loss, creativity and through everything, love. Set primarily in 乐虎直播, where author David McElroy has lived most of his life, the real action in these poems is in thought鈥攖he mind coming to terms (words) with consciousness, the mixing and rendering of reality and imagination.
