“For The White Poets Who Would Be Indian” by Wendy Rose (Hopi/Miwok) “Why does the daughter of natives and strangers, gold miners and ranchers, write poetry? I can only mark certain times in my life when writing poetry was really the logical thing to do. For instance, there was a time when what I knew could have burst from inside me in other ways.” - Wendy Rose - Native American Literature (Vizenor 1995) #nativeamericanliterature #nativeamericanpoetry #wendyrose #nationaldayofmourning https://www.instagram.com/p/CIFJEgSnX6V/?igshid=p4n7lnklq3i9
