This book was very interesting and informative. I always am trying to learn more about different cultures. This book not only enriches the reader's understanding of Native American poetics but also invites deeper reflection on the broader implications of cultural representation in literature. It’s a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of culture, identity, and poetry.

Thank you for the ARC, Indigenous Poetics by Inés Hernández-Ávila and Molly McGlennen; it was an insightful read. I especially liked reading it during a Native Studies course I was taking. I felt that this book would be a welcoming invitation. It covered areas that I know there are gaps with the curriculum today. I would highly recommend this as a required reading. Not for the poetry aspect, as many do not read this genre, but it would provide a different way to learn about the culture, language, etc.

Thank you for the ARC, this is so beyond beautiful. I dived into it not having knowledge about specific areas (Guam for example) as well as not knowing how deeply rooted Indigenous languages are with life itself. I loved how this was not only a book of poetry but also lessons about the culture, history and beauty of Indigenous poetics.

“I just thought we weren’t worthy of literature” is heart breaking but reality for many. I hope one day this book is taught in World Literature courses for high schoolers and college students.
