Native American Heritage Month has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean you should tuck those Bad NDN’s away.  Just like you’ve embraced the #readwomen movement, resolve to #readNDN all year.

Here’s three poetry collections to help get you started:

Heid Erdrich‘s CELL TRAFFIC (Sun Tracks, Univ. of AZ)

Joy Harjo‘s CONFLICT RESOLUTION FOR HOLY BEINGS (W.W. Norton)

Tiffany Midge‘s THE WOMAN WHO MARRIED A BEAR (Univ. of NM)

Leave your suggestions in the comments.

My weekly contribution to David Abrams’ “Sunday Sentence” project in which participants share the best sentence read during the past week “out of context and without commentary.”

The only person left alive on the island was a baby girl.
