“Beyond the Glittering World is medicine.”
—HILLARY SMITH, Black Walnut Books
Rooted in visions of Indigenous futurisms, Beyond the Glittering World proclaims and celebrates a rising generation of storytellers.
The collection brings together twenty-one emerging and established women, two-spirit people, and people of marginalized genders who immerse readers in poems, stories, and worlds that challenge and delight. From a museum heist 177 years in the making, to lyrical explorations of love and loss, to a tale where language itself becomes the force that saves the land, this boundary-breaking, genre-bending anthology illuminates the power of Indigenous voices.

PRAISE FOR BEYOND THE GLITTERING WORLD
“A map of survival and becoming, drawn by Indigenous hands that remember the stars. These stories burn, bless, and build. They carry our aunties’ laughter, our languages, our rebellions, and our love into futures shaped by kin and courage. These aren’t just imagined worlds—they’re remembered ones. This is the future speaking in its oldest tongue, and we’d do well to listen.”
—SHANE HAWK, co-editor of the Never Whistle at Night series
​
“A prescription for hope, truth, and a loving heart to all who need a cure for patriarchy.”
—CAL CROSBY, The King’s English Bookshop
​
“Reading these stories and poems filled with such strength and beauty, left me feeling echoes of both the ancestors and future generations. These voices braid together to show us how the world is, and how it could be. Beyond the Glittering World is medicine.”
—HILLARY SMITH, Black Walnut Books
\
“Beyond the Glittering World includes a range of riveting storytellers whose words reflect and refract. Let this anthology sweep you away!
—ELISE PASCHEN, Blood Wolf Moon
​
“An evocative compilation of voices pondering Indigenous futures and the shape of Indigenous love. Beyond the Glittering World holds a healthy dose of gender-bending, genre-challenging, future-hoping might. This anthology is a welcome addition to the field of Indigenous anthologies.”
—DEBORAH JACKSON TAFFA, Whiskey Tender
​
“These feminisms and futurisms carry a timeless truth: our bodies, our language, movements, dreams, and knowledge are inextricably bound to land.”
—SARETTA MORGAN, Alt-Nature
​
“A vital addition to a burgeoning canon of Indigenous feminist creative work. The writers in this anthology write with a beauty and historical consciousness that is inspiring and much-needed in the face of the colonial-capitalist machine called America.”
—BILLY-RAY BELCOURT, Coexistence
​
“Packs a fierce punch. With a combination of new poetic voices and established favorites, this anthology reminds us that Indigenous feminisms wield language to create intimate and critical spaces to transform the darkness and violence of colonialism and capitalism into nurturing worlds of strength, power, and life.”
—DR. MISHUANA GOEMAN, Professor and Chair of Indigenous Studies, University at Buffalo
