F 02/21 THE SKY WAS ONCE A DARK BLANKET Book Talk with Kinsale Drake

On February 21, NAISI welcomes Diné poet, playwrite, and proformer Kinsale Drake to discuss her newest book. The 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.
