Poet, artist, filmmaker, and curator Heid E. Erdrich won acclaim for exploring indigenous experience in multifaceted ways--personal, familial, biological, cultural. Her work "does nothing less than remake the world," according to Susan Power; her poems "ferry us back and forth between what fuels us and what makes us human," says Dorianne Laux. Written from the perspective of an Ojibwe woman, a Native American who is also white, these searing, long-lined poems, many of which are set in a small town on the prairie, reveal what sustained harassment does to people, especially to women, children, and Native and Indigenous people, how it can lead to the oppression of others, if not ourselves, and how such an environment of misogyny and sexual abuse can instill a psychological mechanism that makes a victim vulnerable to future abuse. The poems in Little Big Bully show us all abused in ways similar to the abuse Erdrich saw as a girl, then later as a woman stalked and harassed, and finally as a human struggling as our very humanity is assaulted daily.
Heid E. Erdrich is the author of seven collections of poetry. Her writing has won fellowships and awards from the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation, the McKnight Foundation, the Minnesota State Arts Board, the Bush Foundation, the Loft Literary Center, and First People' s Fund, and she has twice won a Minnesota Book Award for poetry. She was also the editor of the 2018 anthology New Poets of Native Nations, which was the recipient of an American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation and a Midwest Booksellers Choice Award. Erdrich works as a visual arts curator and collaborator, and as an educator. She teaches in the low-residency MFA creative writing program of Augsburg University and is the 2019 distinguished visiting professor in the liberal arts at the University of Minnesota, Morris. Erdrich grew up in Wahpeton, North Dakota, and is Ojibwe enrolled at Turtle Mountain. She lives in Minneapolis.
