Poetry

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.

Reviews for On the Prairies We Will Live Forever: Poems

Praise for Erica Violet Lee and On the Prairies We Will Live Forever: “Erica Violet Lee makes her own traditions, weaving hope and promise throughout her poetry. You will be changed because you read her work. Anti-colonialism will take on real meaning in her act of love in creating this and giving it to the world. Her love affair with words is the best kind of love: healing, respectful, and reciprocal.” —Tracey Lindberg, author of Birdie “I am awed by the luminous clarity of these poems, by their fierceness and vulnerability, their granularity and philosophical depth. On the Prairies We Will Live Forever is a book of urgent aliveness, a love letter to the author’s most intimate relations and a beacon for all who yearn for a liveable future. Erica Violet Lee is a writer of profound talent and insights, a writer to cherish and tell everyone about.” —David Chariandy, author of Brother
