Engaging with exploration and scientific texts from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries - texts wrapped up in the history and ongoing present of colonization - this collection builds a fascinating poetry of memory out of histories that are largely forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'A provocative and galvanizing read ... Riveting and dazzling invention is visible on almost every page: fonts shift size, language cascades and cleaves, and images disrupt order. \u003ci\u003eDead White Men\u003c\/i\u003e should be widely read and taught.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Eduardo C.

Each poem strikes at the heart of the issue: there are often unarticulated, unacknowledged Indigenous presences here that have been flattened over by the lies and mirages of empty landscapes. \u003ci\u003eDead White Men\u003c\/i\u003e is a stinging and difficult journey, and one that continues to remind us that stolen land has always been the most pressing concern for Indigenous peoples and settlers.
