I Climb the Mesas: Selected Poems of Paula Gunn Allen

An overdue retrospective of a pathbreaking feminist Native American poet, with a foreword from activist and educator Lee Francis IV

I Climb the Mesas: Collected Poems of Paula Gunn Allen span the landscapes of the Southwest, excavate popular misunderstandings of Native women through history, and perhaps most importantly shines a light on a foremother of Native poetry, who was herself an icon to feminist legends like Gloria Steinem.

Including forewords from her nephew, activist and educator Lee Francis IV, as well as her daughter, this volume of the Laguna Pueblo poet spans her decades-long career, including hard-to-find, limited edition chapbooks.
