SUMMARY:Teresa Dzieglewicz: Something Small of How to See a River
DESCRIPTION:Something Small of How to See a River interrogates the idea of narrative. Who gets to tell a story and what does it mean when the official story\, the story told by the governor\, the police\, or the local media\, is a fundamentally dishonest one? The poems collected here meditate on failure: how systems fail us and our environment\, how whiteness fails to hold itself accountable\, how future generations and the land are being failed—and how\, in the face of all this\, the Standing Rock movement was not a failure. At the heart of this collection is the strength\, care\, and radical joy of the movement\, which shines through and against the violence. \nTeresa Dzieglewicz is a poet\, educator\, and lover of rivers and prairies. She is a fellow with Black Earth Institute\, a Poet-in-Residence at the Chicago Poetry Center\, and part of the founding team of Mni Wichoni Nakicizin Wounspe (Defenders of the Water School). She organizes “Watershed: Ways of Knowing the Chicago River” with poet/visual artist\, Natasha Mijares. Her first book of poetry\, Something Small of How to See a River was selected by Tyehimba Jess for the Dorset Prize. Her first children’s book\, co-written with Kimimila Locke\,  is forthcoming from Chronicle Books. She has won a Pushcart Prize\, Best New Poets\, the Gingko Prize\, the Auburn Witness Prize\, and the Palette Poetry Prize and has received fellowships from the Elizabeth George Foundation\, Community of Writers at Tahoe\, Kimmel Harding Nelson Center\, and Brooklyn Poets. Her poems appear in Beloit Poetry Journal\, Pleiades\, Ninth Letter\, and elsewhere. Teresa lives with her family in Chicago\, on Potawatomi land.
