Native American/Indigenous Studies: Indigiqueer

The new edition of a prize-winning memoir-in-poems, a meditation on life as a queer Indigenous man. Belcourt's poems and essays scavenge for a decolonial kind of heaven where everyone is at least a little gay.

A compelling, harrowing, but ultimately uplifting story of resilience and self-discovery."A Two-Spirit Journey" is Ma-Nee Chacaby's extraordinary account of her life as an Ojibwa-Cree lesbian.

As the first full-length work of scholarship to develop a tribally specific Indigenous Queer or Two-Spirit critique, Asegi Stories examines gender and sexuality in Cherokee cultural memory, how they shape the present, and how they can influence the future.

IRL is a sweaty, summertime poem composed like a long text message, rooted in the epic tradition of A.R. Ammons, ancient Kumeyaay Bird Songs, and Beyonce's visual albums. It follows Teebs, a reservation-born, "queer NDN weirdo," trying to figure himself out.
