Created as an homage to my desert ancestors, I focus on the historical significance of Indigenous southwestern tribal adornment culture and the perpetuation of those adornment practices perpetuated into the 21st century. In honor of my Navajo & Hopi Pueblo People & my ancestral matriarchs, and male relatives who adorned themselves with elements of the earth. Be Matriarch. Hózhó Nashá- Beauty all Around. Venaya Yazzie

Wet, Anthology of Water Poems and Prose from the High Desert and Mountains of the Four Corners Region
NEW poetry anthology from the Four Corners community. I am a contributor along with some Dine' (Navajo) poets also from the AZ, UT, NM and CO communities of Native Lands.
The topic of our collective works are based on 'water' as a source of inspiration.
The poem I contributed is titled, She is Water, which is derived from my experience during the loss of my maternal grandmother in Feb. 2020. Thus the poem/prose is ode to her.
Please follow link for more info!
Blessings,
VJ
