About this product
Product Information
Ask the Brindled , selected by Rick Barot as a winner of the 2021 National Poetry Series, bares everything that breaks between "seed" and "summit" of a life--the body, a people, their language. It is an intergenerational reclamation of the narratives foisted upon Indigenous and queer Hawaiians--and it does not let readers look away. In this debut collection, No'u Revilla crafts a lyric landscape brimming with shed skin, water, mo'o, ma'i. She grips language like a fistful of wet guts and inks the page red--for desire, for love, for generations of blood spilled by colonizers. She hides knives in her hair "the way my grandmother--not god-- / the way my grandmother intended," and we heed; before her, "we stunned insects dangle." Wedding the history of the Kingdom of Hawaii with contemporary experiences of queer love and queer grief, Revilla writes toward sovereignty: linguistic, erotic, civic. Through the medium of formal dynamism and the material of oiwi culture and mythos, this living decolonial text both condemns and creates. Ask the Brindled is a song from the shattered throat that refuses to be silenced. It is a testament to queer Indigenous women who carry baskets of names and stories, "still sacred." It is a vow to those yet to come: "the ea of enough is our daughters / our daughters need to believe they are enough."

Reviews
"Poised in the electric space where history and lyric converge, Nou Revilla's Ask the Brindled has new things to say about old things--the work of love, the work of family and community, the work of articulating a self that is 'shattered & many-named.' Sustained by a wily variety of forms, the poems' abiding figure is the shapeshifter, underscoring Revilla's accomplishment of a complex testimony. With both tenderness and urgency brought to poetry's reparative labor, Ask the Brindled shows survivance as a gorgeous unfolding of story and polemic, audacity and song." --Rick Barot " Ask the Brindled is an astonishing addition to the canon (or canoe) of Pacific Islander literature. Nou Revilla embodies the many definitions of a queer, Indigenous shapeshifter. In this collection, she transforms the origins of hurt into seeds of healing through verse, prose, erasure, visual typography, and even a Hawaiian alphabet abecedarian. Cling tightly to these poems because they will crawl under your skin like sly lizards and ask you to shed fear and swallow abundance." --Craig Santos Perez
