Mohawk/Samoa: Transmigrations

by James Thomas Stevens, Caroline Sinavaiana

Poetry. Native American Studies. Selected by Juliana Spahr for Subpress, MOHAWK/ TRANSMIGRATIONS draws on the songs and stories of two geographically distant cultures to create a unique poetic collaboration. By writing beautifully spare new poems that stem out of each other's translations from Mohawk and Samoan, James Thomas Stevens and Caroline Sinavaiana have "[created] an exciting mesh where Mohawk and Samoan inform each other to erase boundaries between individual and collective, past and present, inner and outer worlds."—Arthur Sze
