520    "A powerful, poetic memoir about what it means to exist as
       an indigenous woman in America, told in snapshots of the 
       author's encounters with gun violence--for readers of 
       Jesmyn Ward and Terese Marie Mailhot. Toni Jensen grew up 
       in the Midwest around guns: As a girl, she learned how to 
       shoot birds with her father, a card-carrying member of the
       NRA. As an adult, she's had guns waved in her face in the 
       fracklands around Standing Rock, and felt their silent 
       threat on the concealed-carry campus where she teaches. 
       And she has always known she is not alone. As a Métis 
       woman, she is no stranger to the violence enacted on the 
       bodies of indigenous women, on indigenous land, and the 
       ways it is hidden, ignored, forgotten. In Carry, Jensen 
       maps her personal experience onto the historical, 
       exploring how history is lived in the body and redefining 
       the language we use to speak about violence in America. In
       the title chapter, Jensen recalls the discrimination she 
       faced in college as a Native American student from her 
       roommate to her faculty adviser. "The Worry Line" explores
       the gun and gang violence in her neighborhood the year her
       daughter was born. "At the Workshop" focuses on her 
       graduate school years, during which a classmate repeatedly
       wrote stories in which he killed thinly veiled versions of
       her. In "Women in the Fracklands," Jensen takes the reader
       inside Standing Rock during the Dakota Access pipeline 
       protests, as well as the peril faced by women, in regions 
       overcome by the fracking boom. In prose at once forensic 
       and deeply emotional, Toni Jensen shows herself to be a 
       brave new voice and a fearless witness to her own 
       difficult history--as well as to the violent cultural 
       landscape in which she finds her coordinates as a Native 
       American woman. With each chapter, Carry reminds us that 
       surviving in one's country is not the same as surviving 
       one's country."--|cProvided by publisher.
