Addiction to the Dead | Margo Tamez
#nativeamericanheritagemonth2022
–Lipan Apache poet
I lift my body one leg then another over the cold curve of
the claw-foot tub
Like a walking stick with a colossal cocoon attached
A beast and a mutant I am this
Hooked on the steam of hot water I
Negotiate stretched skin a sore spine the splitting of imminent birth
What do you want
Mammoth a domemoon stomach
Carved by spidery trails former settlement
You in there baby…

Style Guide: What To Wear To A Garden Party
Spring is in full bloom, and what better way to enjoy all that the season has to offer than a beautiful garden party?! This week we are covering everything, from etiquette to what to wear, for all of the fabulous spring soirées adorning your social schedule.
GARDEN PARTY GENERAL DRESS CODE
Traditional UK garden parties are held between 4-8 pm and are pretty formal events. Fancy hat anyone?! But anywhere else in the world, the schedule and dress code tend to be much lighter. Essentially, all you need is the sun in the sky, a pretty dress and some tasty snacks. Here are some general fashion Do’s and Don’ts to keep in mind:
You're reading: Style Guide: What To Wear To A Garden Party
A garden party is about as far away from the club as it gets, so leave the mini skirt + stilettos combo at home. I’m all about glam, but for this occasion try not to go overboard with blingy accessories.

Loose, flowing fabrics are a great way to stay cool since the spring sun can get a little toasty. That being said, pastels, whites and primary colors are key. We all know how much I love black-on-black, but leave your dark hues at home for an outdoor get together. If you’re a neutrals addict like me, try wearing white or cream.

It may not be summer yet, but that doesn’t mean the sun won’t be shining. Don’t forget to bring a chic hat, sunglasses and your go-to SPF!

Now that we’ve got the basics covered, here are some outfit ideas that will have you shining as brightly as the spring sun!
GARDEN PARTY PASTELS AND WARM SHADES
Wearing lighter colors will keep you cool during outdoor events. Definitely add some rose quartz or serenity blue (in lace or silk) into your closet and pair them with neutral toned accessories. A monochromatic look in one of these favorite spring colors is the definition of chic!!

GARDEN PARTY LACE
The femininity of a lace dress makes them the perfect option for this occasion. Caitlin’s adorable dress is a great example of a style I will be adding to my closet soon, since it can easily be paired with my favorite pop of color accessories.

GARDEN PARTY FLORALS
It doesn’t get much more literal for a garden party than a flower power dress! Luckily this print is very on trend at the moment, so don’t hesitate to be bold and try one at your next event. Jenny’s dress is a great combination of 70s throwback and modern chic.

GARDEN PARTY PANTS
If you’re not a fan of dresses, you shouldn’t wear one just to follow a garden party dress code. Instead try a pair of loose dress pants in a light, neutral shade. But stay away from denim so as to not break code. Take a style cue from Jessie’s look below, which is party perfection!

Margo Tamez expresses the simultaneous physical and mental pain of bringing her child into the world, in the impacts it has on her body and in knowledge of the soiled land and suppressed culture that the child will then enter. Yet her maternal desire for the life of her child brings some form of hope in the desolate scene set throughout the verses.

Margo Tamez
Born in 1962, Margo Tamez is a teacher, poet, and acclaimed activist. Her heritage is culturally colourful; she is Spanish, Lipan Apache, and Jumano Apache. This diverse background has greatly influenced her work, including her three poetry collections that she has been publishing since 1992. Her activism and poetry concentrates on indigenous peoples, colonization, identity, and female endurance, with some also touching on environmentalism. Her poems “The Digging Hole” and “What She Knows,” were both published in her book Raven Eye (2007) as well as by The American Poetry Review (2005).
“The Digging Hole,” a poem found in Raven Eye, can easily be imagined as spoken word performance art. The parallel experiences of humans and nature is obvious in her personification of elements of the environment. This is clear, for example, in lines 23-15, “The stump stares back at me/It’s gnarled shape like a man hunched over/Repentant.” In this passage, she speaks to the disconnection between two conceptualizations (humans and nature), but it is also written as though the fantasy could be either be applied to a singular human experience, or as an over-arching moral, which relates back to environmentalist and endurance themes.
“What She Knows” is a poem of Tamez’ also found in her book Raven Eye. This poem can be Interpreted as her speaking to themes of brutality against women, and also ties in themes of humanity with the space and the environment in her use of similes and descriptions of physical context.
Tamez continues to share her knowledge and passion as a current faculty member at The University of British Columbia, teaching in the field of Indigenous Studies and Community, Culture and Global Studies.

Warsan Shire
(Picture: Warsan Shire, The New Yorker)
Warsan Shire is a Kenyan born, UK raised poet, editor and writer who currently lives in LA. She is 27, and just over 3 years ago Shire’s literary accomplishments were acknowledged by The Young Poet Laureate for London, which is a significant title that led to wider exposure and opportunity for her in the UK.
Shire's works are profoundly connected to her personal experiences, much like the other two poets, Rupi Kaur and Margo Tamez who we read this week. However, much of her work is alsonderived from her family and friend’s stories as well as experiences of immigrant, ancestral and marginalized peoples. Through this path of poetic pursuit, she lends her voice as a poetic activist by listening to stories, recording them, then turning them into poems that have blown up in the media.
Few of said poems were popularized internationally by the pop star icon and artist Beyoncé. "The Unbearable Weight of Staying", "Dear Moon", "How to Wear Your Mother's Lipstick", "Nail Technician as Palm Reader", and "For Women Who Are Difficult to Love", were all featured in the singer’s 2016 feature film Lemonade. One of these poems appears in our “watch” page in one of Beyoncé’s videos from the visual album. They can also be found in Shire’s book Her Blue Body.
Her poem Her blue body full of light is also a piece published in Her Blue Body. Shire has claimed on Twitter that her book is only small collection of work, produced to satisfy the conclusion of her role as the 2014 Young Poet Laureate for London. By making this clarification, she complicates any interpretations or categorizations of her work, as there is clearly more writings that have yet been published or seen. All of which is building anticipation for her future work.

Lee Maracle, acclaimed Indigenous author and poet, reads her poem about the suffering brought on by colonization and Residential school. She speaks about superficial and meaningless apologies from politicians, and the historic and ongoing resilience of Indigenous communities in the face of violent oppression by settlers. Much like Margo Tamez, she interweves Indigenous ways of knowing into her poems, speaking both in her community’s language and english, and drawing on symbols of Aboriginal life like dancing, singing, and connection to the environment. Maracle’s voice rings with pride in her culture and community’s strength, but is also heavy with the weight of trauma.

In this video, Margo Tamez discusses the importance of highlighting Indigenous ways of knowing and being in political and geographic matters. She talks about the marginalization of these ways of knowing and the struggle of Indigenous people in the United States. She fights against the erasure of Indigenous histories and asks that people try harder to listen to these communities to avoid this erasure. She talks about women in particular as being the caretakers of Indigenous history and their role in keeping stories and Indigenous ways of knowing alive. Tamez also discusses themes of trauma, sadness and struggles related to the oppression of her community. The ideas that she aedressed in this interview undoubtedly impacted her poetic voice and the activism she took on within that voice.
