Description

Dan Taulapapa McMullin's poetry collection Coconut Milk is a sensual and intimate exploration of place, people, love, and lust. Through his work, he navigates the complexities of being a queer Samoan in the United States, exposing the ironies of cultural appropriation and revealing the resilience of Pacific Islanders. McMullin's unique voice, shaped by his Fa'a Fafine identity, creates a dynamic dialogue between traditional storytelling practices and contemporary themes. His poetry carves out new avenues of meaning for Pacific Islanders and queer-identified peoples, illuminating the ongoing resistance to colonialism and its impact on Indigenous communities. This collection is an important contribution to the growing body of queer Indigenous literature, offering a fresh perspective on identity, culture, and belonging.
