    "description": "<p>The American debut of an acclaimed young poet as she explores her identity as a twenty-first-century Indigenous woman. Poem by poem, Tibble carves out a bold new way of engaging history, of straddling modernity and ancestry, desire and exploitation.<br /><br />Intimate, moving, virtuosic, and hilarious, Tayi Tibble is one of the most exciting new voices in poetry today. In&nbsp;<em>Po\u016bkahangatus</em>&nbsp;(pronounced \"Pocahontas\"), her debut volume, Tibble challenges a dazzling array of mythologies &ndash; Greek, M\u0101ori, feminist, kiwi &ndash; peeling them apart, respinning them in modern terms. Her poems move from rhythmic discussions of the Kardashians, sugar daddies, and&nbsp;<em>Twilight</em>&nbsp;to exquisite renderings of the natural world and precise emotions (\"The lump in her throat swelled like a sea that threatened to take him from her, and she had to swallow hard\"). Tibble is also a master narrator of teenage womanhood, its exhilarating highs and devastating lows; her high-camp aesthetics correlate to the overflowing beauty, irony, and ruination of her surroundings.<br /><br />These are warm, provocative, and profoundly original poems, written by a woman for whom diving into the wreck means taking on new assumptions--namely, that it is not radical to write from a world in which the effects of colonization, land, work, and gender are obviously connected. Along the way, Tibble scrutinizes perception and how she as a M\u0101ori woman fits into trends, stereotypes, and popular culture. With language that is at once colorful, passionate, and laugh-out-loud funny,&nbsp;<em>Po\u016bkahangatus</em>&nbsp;is the work of one of our most daring new poets.</p>",
