Description
Poetry. Native American Studies. A handwritten court record offers a forgotten name, a baby cries in the archive: In WINTERING, her second collection of poems, Megan Snyder-Camp composes a disruptive, archive-sourced poetry of witness that challenges the given story of the "Indian vocabularies," indigenous language records Lewis and Clark gathered during their 1804-6 journey. Exploring whiteness, memory and language, WINTERING is a book about the mark our hunger makes.
