The Woman Who Married a Bear

Winner of the 2017 Western Heritage Award for Poetry Book from the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum

Winner of the Kenyon Review Earthworks Prize for Indigenous Poetry, Tiffany Midge deftly weaves Plains Indian myths into the present day and seeks to define love, the nature of desire, and identity in the twenty-first century.

The book includes a series of poems, each titled “Considering Wakantanka,” that connect the themes throughout the book. The Woman Who Married a Bear showcases the wholly individual voice of a talented poet.
