Gansworth writes YA fiction also. I think I would like to read some of those books to get a fuller picture of his writing style. This is aimed at YA and published by Levine Querido. Perhaps the editors should reconsider the label and just aim both books at adults. They certainly are not written in a way that suggests the material is more accessible to teens. I enjoyed this a lot! The author-narrated audiobook was great I listened at 1. Nov 02, Sarah Gay lifeandbookswithme rated it liked it.

This work reflects on the suffering endured by the Indigenous peoples and how they have worked to overcome their circumstances.
I did really enjoy the format of verse, it was unique and very creative. I did find it a bit difficult to connect with the stories in some parts due to the short length and quick transitions from one idea to the next. That being said, the brevity is what made some parts so meaningful as his points were really driven home. The plot line was nonlinear which also made it a bit difficult to follow but the ending really wrapped up the book nicely.
Feb 21, Andy rated it it was amazing Shelves: ownvoices , audiobook-review-copy , own-audiobook , bipoc-author , audio-narrators-i-love , read , indigenous-rep. Thank you to Libro. FM for an ALC in exchange for an honest review. I cannot recommend this book enough. I've made it a goal of mine to read more Indigenous lit in And I am so happy to have read this book. Gansworth's poetry is lyrical and imaginative, every poem easily painted a picture in my head.
He also did a great job narrating. This story is about identity and how as a Onondaga family living among Tuscaroras, identities can be lost and changed. Gansworth also t Thank you to Libro. Gansworth also touches on the damaging and erasing processes of assimilation, especially by the United States government and its boarding school legacy.
Throughout the memoir, Gansworth tells various stories and none of them are linear. I really enjoyed seeing how he connected different pieces with an overarching narrative. A must read! I don't typically rate memoirs, so that's why there's no rating.
Still, this was incredible and I highly recommend, especially if you like poetry! Nov 23, Autumn Byrd marked it as to-read Shelves: biography , nonfiction , lgbtqiap , indigenous , arcs-alc.
ALC provided by Libro. Blog Instagram YouTube Ko-fi I love the references to the Beatles, superheroes and pop culture aspects of his childhood that were interwoven with historical facts of the oppressive situations the Onondaga faced. However I wish I would have read this instead of listened to it. The narration is choppy and I felt it took away from ".. The narration is choppy and I felt it took away from some of the important points being made by Gansworth.
I am generations removed from my Cherokee heritage so to read a novel that pushes emphasis on the loss of identity, culture and customs made me sit back and think of all the things I have possibly lost and all the ways my ancestors have conformed.
I have nothing but old memories of visiting "pow-wows" when I was little and I could bet dollars to donuts that they were not the real deal. It makes me want to break out the Google search engine and DNA swab to see what I can find of my past.
Who I could find. The glimpses of reservation life, his unique prose on assimilation into the world outside of the Res and straddling the line between both worlds was poetic to read.
Another reason I wish I would've grabbed the book first, there is so much to quote and tab. I even took a moment to go over to his webpage www. I am glad I stepped out of my normal genre preference and grabbed this memoir to enjoy.
Though the narration may not be my favorite; I can still see the message unfolding as the narration went on. I would recommend this read to anyone looking to diversify their memoir reads with a glimpse into Indigenous Native American life.
Jan 30, Jennifer rated it it was ok. I started reading this well before the YMAs were announced, and while I can understand why it was selected for a Printz honor, I just didn't care for it at all. It took me 3 weeks to slog through it, which is an eternity for me. Mar 30, Caroline Tew rated it liked it Shelves: audiobook. But that distinction was not really made clear, only hinted at, for the first good bit of the book which made the hints confusing for me.
Another book that I highly recommend, this memoir is about a Native American guy who grows up in the 60's and 70's on a reservation, and his early life and experience being indigenous, but also being part of a community that is perpetually trying to be assimilated and whose culture is trying to be erased. It's called Apple because that is an insult that is used for Native Americans who are "red on the outside, white on the inside.
I am so glad I picked up this book. A memoir in verse, with biographical drawings, it took me back to my youth, growing up in WNY. Eric Gansworth lived maybe 30 miles away from me, and the difference between those miles is evident in our life experiences.
I enjoyed the way the memoir was put together, all of the Beatles and apple imagery, and particularly some of the references that were shared - Mr. And I'm so happy to have read this work durin I am so glad I picked up this book. Jan 15, Kelsey Bailey rated it it was amazing. Valuable as a YA book might be better for those on the older end to understand some of the references - but do not think it should be limited at any in the YA ranger AND adults.
Apr 27, Clete rated it really liked it. Heavy with the weight of genocide and assimilation, stuffed with brilliant symbolism, evocative allusion, and rich cultural knowledge, this provides a depth worthy of focused study, more like literary fiction than YA and, although many passages are definitely in verse, others are in a freer verse bordering on prose. All of it, though, attempts to find a portion of what was lost. Jun 14, Christi rated it really liked it Shelves: non-fiction , audiobook.
Fabulous on audio! Apr 03, Sarah Rosenberger rated it liked it Shelves: cultural-studies , audiobook , memoir , poetry , bipoc. I really enjoyed this. Despite being from a different generation, Indigenous Entity and geographic location, I found myself relating to the experiences Gansworth talks about in this memoir.

From Commod mac and cheese despite having the funds to not have to choose this dish, we do so out of nostalgia to calling a reservation home but still being treated as an "outsider" due to being enrolled in a different tribe, despite having blood ties to the reservation you live on. I enjoyed Gansworth's words both audibly and physically, with the book being written in free verse I enjoyed the fact that I could follow along when I found I could do so.
