Description
Joshua Whitehead's Making Love with the Land is a deeply personal and evocative exploration of Indigenous beauty and passion in a suffering world. Through creative essay, memoir, and confession, Whitehead examines the complex relationships between body, language, and land, offering a new form of storytelling that blends genre and is entirely sovereign. In this powerful and visceral work, Whitehead shares his own experiences of trauma and mental health struggles, reframing them as a kinship that can be both painful and transformative. Written in the aftermath of heartbreak and the pandemic, Making Love with the Land illuminates the present moment in which people are rediscovering old ways and creating new ones about connection with and responsibility toward each other and the land. Intellectually audacious and emotionally compelling, this book is a testament to Whitehead's devotion to the world and his ability to map his experience on the land that has shaped stories, histories, and bodies from time immemorial.
