Simon J. Ortiz is widely regarded as one of the literary giants of
the twentieth and twenty-first centuries with more than two dozen
volumes of poetry, prose fiction, children's literature, and
nonfiction work to his credit and his being anthologized around the
world. This edited volume is devoted to the depth and range of
Ortiz's contribution to contemporary Native American literature and
literary scholarship.
Including interviews with Ortiz, short creative nonfiction essays
by Native women writers and scholars, and innovative critical
discussions by a dozen scholars of Native literatures, the volume
shows his role in the development of cultural studies and Native
American literatures on a number of fronts, garnering tribal,
regional, national, hemispheric, and global levels of awareness and
appreciation. The range of scholarship herein sheds light on the
larger historical, cultural, and political factors that have shaped
Native writing over the last four decades.
This volume reveals the insights and aesthetics of Ortiz's
indigenous lens, which provides invaluable contributions to
literary studies that turn to the postcolonial, the ecocritical,
the globally indigenous and comparative as indigenous geographies
of belonging are found to inform an aesthetics of inclusion and
authenticity.
