Publication date: 05 April 2023

Winner of the National Book Award for Poetry, this collection of experimental and visual poems delves into the history and culture of the poet's homeland, Guam. This book is the fifth collection in Craig Santos Perez's ongoing From unincorporated territory series about the history of his homeland, the western Pacific island of Guåhan (Guam), and the culture of his indigenous Chamoru people. "Åmot" is the Chamoru word for "medicine," commonly referring to medicinal plants. Traditional Chamoru healers were known as yoåmte; they gathered åmot in the jungle and recited chants and invocations of taotaomona, or ancestral spirits, in the healing process. Through experimental and visual poetry, Perez explores how storytelling can become a symbolic form of åmot, offering healing from the traumas of colonialism, militarism, migration, environmental injustice, and the death of elders.
