Whereas: Poems by Layli Long Soldier
WHEREAS confronts the coercive language of the United States government in its responses, treaties, and apologies to Native American peoples and tribes, and reflects that language in its officiousness and duplicity back on its perpetrators. Through a virtuosic array of short lyrics, prose poems, longer narrative sequences, resolutions, and disclaimers, Layli Long Soldier has created a brilliantly innovative text to examine histories, landscapes, her own writing, and her predicament inside national affiliations.Layli Long Soldier was awarded a Lannan Fellowship for Poetry in 2015, a Native Arts and Cultures Foundation National Artist Fellowship in 2015, and a Whiting Writers' Award in 2016. She teaches at Diné College and lives in Arizona.
