Too often, what has passed for Indigenous erotica has been aberrant and racist in its depiction, has reinforced cultural stereotypes, and has kept readers ignorant of the realities of Indigenous intimacy. It’s time to change all that. It’s time for a culturally honest representation of prose and poetry that celebrates the art, wit, and cultural truth of Indigenous sensuality, passion, and true seduction – not the sentimental Hallmark verse, not the purely pornographic, and not the exploitative. To that end, Wild Blackhorse Press is seeking fresh, original short stories and poetry by Indigenous writers for an anthology that revels in the intimate and/or erotic relationships between lovers. Representations of all pairings and relationship dynamics are encouraged. Explicit depictions of sex are not required; but also don’t just tell us ABOUT the act of love – be a lover! Here’s how to contribute: Send 1-5 poems and/or 1-3 short stories. Send work as a .doc, .docx, or .rtf document.

Indigenous Erotica: An Anthology of Art, Wit, and Cultural Truth

It’s time to change all that.

It’s time for a culturally honest representation of prose and poetry that celebrates the art, wit, and cultural truth of Indigenous sensuality, passion, and true seduction – not the sentimental Hallmark verse, not the purely pornographic, and not the exploitative.

To that end, Wild Blackhorse Press is seeking fresh, original short stories and poetry by Indigenous writers for an anthology that revels in the intimate and/or erotic relationships between lovers. Representations of all pairings and relationship dynamics are encouraged. Explicit depictions of sex are not required; but also don’t just tell us ABOUT the act of love – be a lover!

sadgee: esprit-sans-sabotage: Iztaccíhuatl was a princess who fell in love with one of her father’s warriors, Popocatépetl. The emperor sent Popocatépetl to war in Oaxaca, promising him Iztaccíhuatl as his wife when he returned. Iztaccíhuatl was falsely told Popocatépetl had died in battle, and believing the news, she died of grief. When Popocatépetl returned to find his love dead, he took her body to a spot outside Tenochtitlan and kneeled by her grave. The gods covered them with snow and changed them into mountains. Iztaccíhuatl’s mountain is called “White Woman” (from the nahuatl iztac “white” and cihuatl “woman”) because it resembles a woman lying on her back, and is often covered with snow. Popocatépetl became an active volcano, raining fire on Earth in blind rage at the loss of his beloved. my childhood. such warmth in this image.
