JOY HARJO’S first book of poetry, The Last Song, was published in 1975, during a time period often referred to as the Second Wave of the Native American Renaissance

So to Speak is so excited to announce that Michelle Lee’s poem “The Myth of the Mother and Child,” which is included in the anthology Writing That Risks from Red Bridge Press, was recently nominated for a Pushcart Prize.

So to Speak celebrates Native American Heritage Month!

The past few weeks So to Speak has devoted the blog to “Hispanic Heritage Month,” the official national recognition and celebration of the contributions made by generations of Latino/Hispanic Americans in the United States.

To close So to Speak’s “Hispanic Heritage Month”-themed series, we invited Huerta, a doctoral candidate in English at the University of California, Berkeley, to share with us what feminism looks like to a brown male poet in 2013.

So to Speak is accepting submissions for the Spring 2014 issue until October 15th.
