Some of my favorite poetry collections, minus Maya Angelou, Margaret Atwood, & Sylvia Plath. They must be in storage. Also I need to own Citizen already.
Dog Road Woman is my favorite of these. (It's signed! 😀) Allison Adelle Hedge Coke, who writes poetry about mixed-blood Native life, including racism, womanhood, colonialism, domestic violence, and diaspora. It's powerful stuff. Lots of her poetry and essays are available online as well. ✍🏾

BookishFeminist @SoniaC Yes! It's wonderful. I love rereading it and finding more layers. 😊 8y
BookishFeminist @Yamich49 Hahahaha FAT CHANCE when you won't stop suggesting TV shows 😂😂 At some point we'll have to call a truce but not just yet 8y
BookishFeminist @BooksForYears I do! I love Voyage of the Sable Venus as well & should definitely add it to my collection. 8y
SoniaC @BookishFeminist I hope to see the play one day. 8y
BookishFeminist @SoniaC Me too- I keep hoping I will run across a performance of it somewhere. One of these days! 8y
