In this ranging, courageous collection, Tiffany Midge draws us deep into the world of her people, the Plains Indians, with a contemporary acuity that transcends both history and time.

Description
Winner of the Kenyon Review Earthworks Prize for Indigenous Poetry, Midge deftly weaves Plains Indian myths into the present day and seeks to define love, the nature of desire, and identity in the twenty-first century. The book includes a series of poems, each titled “Considering Wakatanka,” that weave together the themes throughout the book. The Woman Who Married a Bear showcases the wholly individual voice of a talented poet.
