“Quilts” by Layli Long Soldier from the June 2018 Native Poets issue of Poetry.[image: First image is a wide shot of two quilts hanging on a wall, both are in the shape of eight-pointed stars. One quilt’s bottom half is black and the top has one quadrant of white and one red with black and white markings all over and a smaller eight-pointed star in the center (top half yellow and bottom half white); the other quilt is all black and white. Second image is a close up of the color quilt’s center star, revealing that the markings are pressed insects. Third image is a close up of the black quilt, which has an all-black center star with buffalo and shapes around it. Fourth image show that the markings on the black quilt are words, perhaps forming a poem.] -- source link
