Full Metal Oji-Cree by Joshua Whitehead (grades 10+)

Writer Joshua Whitehead carries many selfs--Canadian, Oji-Cree, two-spirit, poet--all of which weaves together in intricate language experiments that are his poems. Most known for his poetry collection Full-Metal Indigiqueer and novel Jonny Appleseed, Whitehead explores intersectionality through the manipulation, subversion, and annhilation of English lanuage conventions, as seen in a poem from the former collection, "Full Metal Oji-Cree."
