“In April of 2022, Indigenous Nations Poets hosted 17 Indigenous poets as fellows for a gathering with distinguished Indigenous faculty, In-Na-Po leaders, and United States Poet Laureate Joy Harjo at the Library of Congress (LOC). The week’s events included workshops, craft talks, an introduction to the collections of the LOC and the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI), and readings by faculty and fellows. Throughout the retreat, we embraced Indigenous values and aesthetics and encouraged participants to use Indigenous languages” (In-Na-Po website).
This publication is a sharing of creative responses to the 2022 LOC retreat. The co-editors E.G. Silex and Denise Low were faculty members for the retreat. They were honored to collect writings by retreat participants that were inspired by the week’s activities. These poems have a range of voices. Their clarity and power weave through the pages, as well as common themes: dance, personal and community survivance, and traditions that sustain nations and individuals through adversities. The poems also show the spirituality that is as essential to Native peoples as food.

Explore this insider’s account of life in an order of modern mystics, an apprenticeship in energetic healing, and life in a clothing-optional retreat center in Northern California.
This spiritual coming-of-age memoir takes the reader on a storyteller’s journey into three tiny, experimental subcultures in the U.S. and Northern Europe. In a series of short interlocking vignettes, spanning the years from 1949 to 2015, Gilkeson traces his unlikely path from a conventional upbringing in the Midwest, down the psychedelic rabbit hole, and into the ferment of the late 1960s. He emerges as a brother in an order of modern mystics and later as a practitioner and teacher of energy healing at a clothing-optional retreat center. Three Lost Worlds is a reflection on a pivotal period in American spiritual history, the heartfelt journey of a modern seeker caught up in the protracted spiritual walkabout of a generation.
“A lived-in perspective on the creative, cultural ferment of the 70’s. Three Lost Worlds is like visiting an amusement park of the mind.” ~Diane Lonsdale Haynes

Kim Shuck, Poet Laureate of San Francisco, writes a stunning long poem about her journey across the Unites States, what becomes a personal migration along its waterways. She names and transforms history, politics, nature’s beings, and her own ties to Cherokee Nation, of which she is an enrolled member. She notices “Selu” (corn in Cherokee), orchards, “dead gas stations,” and “ravens in parking lots.” In the flow of scenes Shuck articulates an identity, “Americans are defined/by crossing water/Atlantic, Mississippi, Rio Grande, Pacific.”

“Diane Willie’s original voice adds depth to 21st century stories of the American Southwest. Her mythical tales draw upon Navajo, Pueblo, Spanish, and Anglo histories to create her own mélange. Always, the Native viewpoint structures Willie’s narratives. Read these as rituals of healing. The final message is one of hope, esperanza.” Denise Low, former Kansas Poet Laureate 
English, to water, at a time when this essential of life is most precious. Now a native of Kansas City, Caraza draws upon Nahuatl (Aztec), Spanish and English traditions in this accessible and lush verse diary. Each poem is a sequence in her journey to Italy, where she finds water ever present in seas, rivers, Venice canals, and rainstorms. This is a beautiful book. Tino Villanueva, 1994 American Book Award recipient writes: “Part diary, part poeticized travel journal, Caraza’s, Where the Light is Violet is nothing if not a paean to Venice, Murano Island, and likewise to Rome, Pompeii, Florence, et al. The poet is ever swept away by all complexities of natural splendor (waterways, flora, and fauna), under a colorful vaulting sky, an exuberance conveyed in sensual verse, and chromatic flourishes, Greco-Roman mythology serving, at times, as backdrop.” 
Xánath Caraza, award-winning author, teaches at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and makes presentations in Europe, Latin America, and the U.S. She is Writer-in-Residence at Westchester Community College, New York. She writes for La Bloga, Periódico de Poesía, Revista Literaria Monolito, The Smithsonian Latino Center, and Revista Zona de Ocio. She is originally from Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico.
