IN-NA-PO at AWP - Language Back - A Reading & Conversation with Indigenous Poets

  • Kansas City Convention Center 301 West 13th Street, Ballroom A Level 2 Kansas City, MO, 64105 United States (map)

Simultaneous with the contemporary Land Back movement of Tribal Nations is an equally urgent call for Indigenous literary sovereignty. This focus on writing Indigenous includes a strong push for creators to employ tribal languages and their inherent structures—for Language Back. Poet contributors to The Diné Reader, Jake Skeets, Luci Tapahanso, and Esther Belin, will read recent work and discuss how their creative work maps itself at the intersections of tribal language, poetic form, and place.
