IRL / Tommy Pico. by Pico, Tommy. Birds Llc, 2016. Call #: 811.6 P598i Subjects American poetry -- Indigenous authors.   Indians of North America -- Poetry.   Indigenous peoples -- Poetry.   Gay men -- Poetry.   American poetry -- 21st century. ISBN:  9780991429868 (pbk.) Description:  98 p. ; 23 cm. Notes:  Poem. Summary:  "IRL is a sweaty, summertime poem composed like a long text message. It follows Teebs, a reservation-born, queer NDN weirdo, trying to figure out his impulses/desires/history in the midst of Brooklyn rooftops, privacy in the age of the Internet, street harassment, suicide, boys boys boys, literature, colonialism, religion, leaving one's 20s, and a love/hate relationship with English. He's plagued by an indecision, unsure of which obsessions, attractions, and impulses are essentially his, and which are the result of Christian conversion, hetero- patriarchal/colonialist white supremacy, homophobia, Bacardi, gummy candy, and not getting laid. IRL asks, what happens to a modern, queer indigenous person a few generations after his ancestors were alienated from their language, their religion, and their history? Teebs feels compelled towards "boys, burgers, booze," though he begins to suspect there is perhaps a more ancient goddess calling to him behind art, behind music, behind poetry. Tommy "Teebs" Pico has poems in BOMB, Guernica, and the Offing. Originally from the Viejas Indian reservation of the Kumeyaay nation, he now lives in Brooklyn and with Morgan Parker co-curates the reading series Poets With Attitude (PWA)"--Provided by publisher.
