Each poem in SO WHAT is entitled SO WHAT, which speaks to the idea that everything is a contribution to the singular endless stolen poem of history. As an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation questioning the validity of American ideals, Cline writes lyric and prose poems that interrogate his complicity in imperialism. This long-awaited volume of colloquial verse from a rising Native American voice maintains eloquence, poignancy, and humor throughout. Think a tribal Frank O'Hara.
