Poem by poem  Tibble carves out a bold new way of engaging history  of straddling modernity and ancestry  desire and exploitation.  Intimate  moving  virtuosic  and hilarious  Tayi Tibble is one of the most exciting new voices in poetry today. In Pokahangatus (pronounced Pocahontas)  her debut volume  Tibble challenges a dazzling array of mythologiesGreek  Mori  feminist  kiwipeeling them apart  respinning them in modern terms. Her poems move from rhythmic discussions of the Kardashians  sugar daddies  and Twilight 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.  These are warm  provocative  and profoundly original poems  written by a woman for whom diving into the wreck means taking on new assumptionsnamely  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 Mori woman fits into trends  stereotypes  and popular culture. With language that is at once colorful  passionate  and laugh-out-loud funny  Pokahangatus is the work of one of our most daring new poets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648075063349,"sku":"ByrdShop_0593534603","price":27.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780593534601.jpg?v=1781708663","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/poukahangatus-poems-9780593534601","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
