SUNSHINE IN THEIR FUR IS FINALLY FINISHED!!! I can now start selling the zines at events and bookstores :) I will have the digital zine available soon. 🐶 “This zine project explores Rez dogs and their importance in Native communities. The project centers on my dog, Sandy, adopted from Coconino Humane Society, and Rez dogs I fostered through Tuba City Humane Society, including abandoned homeless puppies from various
locations in Tuba City, Arizona, located on the Navajo Reservation” please consider adopting to @tubacityhumane or @coconinohumaneassn ❤️✨ #rezdogs #sunshineintheirfur #tubacity #rezpubbies thank you to the @phxartsculture for their support in this project ❤️❤️❤️
For my birthday, I would like to share the cover of my first full collection of poetry titled BLUE CORN TONGUE: POEMS IN THE MOUTH OF THE DESERT (forthcoming spring 2025 from University of Arizona Press). It’s been six years of writing, editing and editing again and she will be here soon! Pre-order information will be available later this summer ❤️ #bluecorntongue #universityofarizonapress #dinèpoetry #debutcollection #poetry
Charlie went to the doctor today for his wellness exam and vaccines. His doctor said he is healthy and has beautiful teeth and fur 🤭 Charlie is now 3 years old and I am so happy he healed from his accident 2 years ago, when he was hit by a car and had to have surgery for a tear in his diaphram. He also chipped his tooth pretty bad and had to get stitches in his leg and stomach. The day I got Charlie, the woman at animal welfare league said he was a special boy, she was not wrong. Everyday that he is home with me has been a gift 🥰 and of course he eats wet food and churu everyday. #booboomccrary #babyboy #cat
Our Friday night events, "Beyond the Glittering World" and the Featured Indigenous Reading, were incredible!
