full-metal indigiqueer: poems by Joshua Whitehead
5.0
The poem “Mihkokwaniy” punched the wind right out of me in a gasp-sob. The entire project of this collection, though, is/should/will be literary canon. So good.
“i want to tell him that the life of a person / is an archive of memory / & when he strangled the life out of you...the last gasping breath you exhaled / held in it little particles / fragments of time.” —from poem “Mihkokwaniy”
