SUMMARY:Kinsale Drake Celebrating: The Sky Was Once a Dark Blanket
DESCRIPTION:Join Books on the Park Monday January 6 for a welcome of Kinslae Drake in celebration of her poetry collection The Sky Was Once a Dark Blanket at 9th Ave! \nAbout The Sky Was Once a Dark Blanket\nThe Sky Was Once a Dark Blanket traverses the Southwest landscape\, exploring intricate relationships between Native peoples and the natural world\, land\, pop culture\, twentieth-century music\, and multi-generational representations. Oscillating between musical influences\, including the repercussions of ethnomusicology\, and the present/past/future\, the collection rewrites and rerights what it means to be Indigenous\, queer\, and even formerly-emo in the twenty-first century. \nAbout Kinsale Drake\nKinsale Drake (Diné) is a poet\, playwright\, and performer based out of the Southwest. She is a winner of the 2023 National Poetry Series. Her work has appeared in Poetry Magazine\, Poets.org\, Best New Poets\, Black Warrior Review\, Nylon\, MTV\, Teen Vogue\, Time\, and elsewhere. She recently graduated from Yale University\, where she received the J. Edgar Meeker Prize\, the Academy of American Poets College Prize\, the Young Native Playwrights Award\, and the 2022 Joy Harjo Poetry Prize.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Fire Kinship

Her research in Native and public history informs her work with museum exhibitions\, historical preservation projects\, and community-based archives. She integrates critical race theory\, decolonial praxis of tribal sovereignty\, and community traditions to create a new direction of inclusivity in public history that visibilizes Indigenous people\, voices\, and community narratives. \nLina Tejeda (Pomo) recently earned her M.A. in history at California State University\, San Bernardino. Her areas of focus are California Indian studies and museum studies/public history. She is passionate about working in institutions and advocating for the return of sacred cultural items to tribal nations to which they belong and telling the true histories of the California Indian people. Lina is a traditional Pomo dancer and a student of her cultural traditions\, including basket weaving\, gathering materials\, regalia making\, and singing. \nImage: Marlene’ Dusek\, Healing your heart and healing sóoval with kúut (Marlene’ managing sumac gathering area\, an essential plant relative for weaving).
