Jim Terry (Ho-Chunk) is a Chicago comic book artist whose memoir Come Home, Indio was a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize. Jim recently was an artist-in-residence at the Newberry, and his new graphic novel, Paper Cuts, commissioned for Indigenous Chicago, reflects his personal journey through the library’s collections and its vast holdings in American Indian and Indigenous Studies.

 While in the park one morning in May 2020, Christian Cooper was engaged in the birdwatching ritual that had been a part of his life since he was ten years old when what might have been a routine encounter with a dog walker exploded age-old racial tensions.In Better Living Through Birding, Cooper tells the story of his extraordinary life.

This landmark collection strives to reflect the complexity of identities within Native Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Two-Spirit (GLBTQ2) communities. Gathering together the work of established writers and talented new voices, this anthology spans genres (fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and essay) and themes (memory, history, sexuality, indigeneity, friendship, family, love, and loss) and represents a watershed moment in Native American and Indigenous literatures, Queer studies, and the intersections between the two.
