Poetry written by Indigenous writers of Turtle Island and the Pacific Islands.

Emphasis on intersectionality.

A list of books I've read by Indigenous authors (ideally about Indigenous issues or characters) in 2025. Books about Indigenous people/topics written by non-Indigenous authors aren't included here, but anthologies/co-authored books with a mixture of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous authors are included. For this list, I'm only including authors Indigenous to the Americas, Oceania, and Sápmi, although Indigenous peoples obviously exist in other parts of the world.

Poetry has a long history of being used to speak on injustices, raise awareness, and provide social commentary. Diversify your poetry shelves with these poets that speak on their experiences navigating marginalization. Would love recommendations!
