In prose that is evocative, sensual, unabashedly queer, visceral, raw, and autobiographical, Joshua Whitehead writes of an Indigenous body in pain, coping with trauma. Intellectually audacious and emotionally compelling, Whitehead shares his devotion to the world in which we live and brilliantly—even joyfully—maps his experience on the land that has shaped stories, histories, and bodies from time immemorial. "Defiantly artful." —Billy-Ray Belcourt, author of "A History of My Brief Body"
