This was a lot of fun to read. 2S poet Joshua Whitehead takes on an invented trickster persona Zoa, then proceeds to riff on and infect well known English language poets, twisting and exploring them in a queer and anticolonial direction. Good stuff.

The book is about expansive indigenous understanding of gender, described through historical record, literature, and film. I learned about a lot of sources I hadn't heard of. The writing is a bit academic, which is likely what caused me to set the book aside for a while, but I did enjoy it and I'm so glad I picked it up again and finished it while vacationing recently.
