Overview

Extant 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, award-winning poet Jenny L. 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.
