Description
A poem about nature, from a perspective that challenges the way we think about the natural world. Tommy Pico's book-length poem explores the complexities of identity, colonialism, and the human experience. The poet, who identifies as American Indian, grapples with the idea of writing about nature, a task that feels stereotypical and reductive. Instead, he turns to the city, to music, language, and his own experiences as a queer person. As he navigates these different worlds, he comes to a deeper understanding of himself and his place in the world.
