On the Prairies We Will Live Forever

An adventurous collection of poetry and narrative prose that envisions a world where the inner-city is and has always been home on Native Land, and where good food, clean air, and a call for joy are the taste, smell, and sound of revolution.

At once romantic and brutally authentic, Erica’s work explores love as a community care practice toward freedom, intertwining the political and the intimate. Her writing imagines that everyday thriving for Native girls from the hood to the rez is the sweetest resistance to a cruel colonial empire--one that is much more fragile than we are taught to believe.
