Kenzie Allen: Her complex relationship to figures like Pocahontas
The Haudenosaunee poet Kenzie Allen has a complex relationship to stereotypical Indigenous figures like Tiger Lily and Pocahontas. But in her debut book of poetry, “Cloud Missives,” she doesn’t completely reject these figures outright. Kenzie joins guest host Vivek Shraya to talk about the collection, which is set to come out later this month. She also reads a poem for us, titled “In Which I Become (Tiger Lily).”
