Indigenous ๐ข๐๏ธ Poetry
Poetry written by Indigenous writers of Turtle Island and the Pacific Islands.
Emphasis on intersectionality.
The PI in AAPI!
Disclaimer: I am not Pacific Islander, but we should all strive to read more Pasifika authors!
The grouping of Pasifika and Asian communities has a complex history. And because of this grouping, Pasifika authors are largely underrepresented.
Check out Pacific Islanders in Publishing (I cannot figure out how to hyperlink, sorry) for more recs!
I have not read all of the books on this list, so please let me know if any are not fit for this list!
Suggestions are always welcome!

There are too many snakes on this ๐ฅ๐ฅ shelf
Only one rule: there is a snake on the cover. It doesnโt have to be a specific genre, it doesnโt have to be a specific age group, it doesnโt even need to be a good book.
Bonus points if itโs the original book snake!
