Layli Long Soldier has made for us the most moving field of metamorphosis, where we move between becoming and undoing and being, winds rustling the words into action. Step into these grasses, find here the wound of the world we are, and its healing.
Layli Long Soldier is the author of WHERREAS, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award and the PEN/Jean Stein Award and was a finalist for the National Book Award. She is a citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation and lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
