| Summary: | A stunning, multimorphic work of poetry and prose about Indigenous identity. Mother is a work rooted in an intimate an Indigenous child is adopted out of her tribe and raised by a non-Indian family. As an adult finding her way back to her origins, our unnamed narrator begins to put the pieces of her birth family's history together through the stories told to her by her mother, father, sister and brother, all of whom remained on the reservation where she was born. Through oral histories, family lore and imagined pasts and futures, a collage of their community builds, raising profound questions about adoption, inheritance and Indigenous identity in America. |
