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.

This anthology is a welcome addition to the field of Indigenous anthologies." —Deborah Jackson Taffa author of Whiskey Tender
