{"product_id":"extant","title":"Extant","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe second poetry collection by award-winning author Jenny L. Davis (Chickasaw), \u003cem\u003eExtant\u003c\/em\u003e confronts the many ways in which Native Americans continue to be associated with the distant past and imagined, even today, as more animal than human. For more than a century, anthropologists, museum guides, and high school teachers have described Native American bodies, cultures, and languages as \"endangered\" or \"almost extinct.\" Through a combination of blackout poems, occasional poems, and free verse, Davis rewrites the narrative of what it means to exist, to live in a present shaped by colonial violence that emphasizes the power of survival. Drawing on online question forums, scientific studies, kitschy decor, and the day-to-day musings of an Indigiqueer Native woman, Extant stages encounters of Native survival within a world full of stars, cicadas, earthworms, and moss.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jenny L.
