'I am traveling with these old reports. / This bundle of voices in my throat,' writes Diane Glancy in her stunning new book. In nine sections, through several reports and multiple voices and visions, the poet returns readers to signal events in the (reanimated) history of Native Americans and white colonizers in America.--Hilda Raz, author of What Happens
