PositiveCleveland Review of BooksThe book’s bedrocks are both the angst and anger of indigenous people in a still colonized landscape as well as the refuge and grounding influence of familial and erotic love.

In this collection detailing pathos that includes both eros and violence, working against erasure is essential ... The book is at once both a deeply personal tribute to a lover and cultural critique of a postcolonial world in need of re-spiritualization.
