An Anthology of Indigenous Feminisms and Futurisms
by Stacie Shannon Denetsosie, Kinsale Drake, Darcie Little Badger
Rooted in visions of Indigenous futurisms, Beyond the Glittering World proclaims and celebrates a rising generation of Indigenous women and genderqueer storytellers.
The collection brings together twenty-two emerging and established writers whose poems and stories expand the imagination an. From a museum heist 177 years in the making, to lyrical explorations of love and loss, to a tale where language itself becomes the force that saves the land, this boundary-breaking, genre-bending anthology illuminates the power of Indigenous voices.

"Beyond the Glittering World includes a range of riveting storytellers whose words reflect and refract. Let this anthology sweep you away!" —Elise Paschen author of Blood Wolf Moon
"An evocative compilation of voices pondering Indigenous futures and the shape of Indigenous love. Beyond the Glittering World holds a healthy dose of gender-bending, genre-challenging, future-hoping might. This anthology is a welcome addition to the field of Indigenous anthologies." —Deborah Jackson Taffa author of Whiskey Tender
