Critics’ reviews
Praise for this book
"A wonderful introduction to the diverse landscape of native voices."--The Washington Post
"This collection is a breathtaking, wide-ranging work of art. . . . It is a modern classic."--BuzzFeed
"A revelatory anthology."--BBC Culture
"[New Poets of Native Nations] is distinctly contemporary in its urgency, diversity and vibrancy."--Star Tribune (Minneapolis)
"This book is a wonderful, needed, vital breath of air. . . . New Poets of Native Nations is a wonderfully conceived collection, full of exciting juxtapositions, rich language and a fine equipoise between generosity and restraint. It's safe to say New Poets of Native Nations is an essential read."--Paste Magazine
"The artists collected in New Poets of Native Nations occupy a powerful role culturally, and a book like this, at this moment, acts as a looking-glass for white-dominated culture. As challenges to the status quo of global capital, environmental degradation, and underserved communities rise in pitch, the perspectives held by these poets offer vital reading."--3: AM Magazine
"A gorgeous volume of poetry."--The Coil
"[A] marvelous and much needed new anthology."--Shelf Awareness
"Essential. . . . Through this first anthology of US Native poets since 1988, Erdrich offers readers a path into a 'brilliantly lit dimension' that has long been obscured by colonialism in the worlds of academia and cultural production."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
"An immensely important anthology that belongs in every library."--Booklist, starred review
