This Music is the final, intimate work of celebrated Koyoonk?auwi (Concow) poet and essayist Janice Gould, completed posthumously by a collective of close friends and literary scholars. Told through lyrical prose poems and personal photographs, this memoir traces Gould?s life as a queer/Two-Spirit California Native coming of age in the late 1960s, navigating family, identity, activism, and art. With reflections on her mixed-blood heritage, her experiences in lesbian feminist circles, and her journey as a poet and musician, Gould?s voice resonates with clarity, tenderness, and fierce honesty. The book opens with a foreword by Joy Harjo and an introduction from the editorial collective, including an essay by Gould?s spouse, Marie-Elise Wheatwind, framing the memoir as both a literary achievement and a loving tribute. This Music is a vital contribution to Indigenous and LGBTQ+ literatures, offering readers a rare and powerful account of gender, sexuality, and Native identity in mid-century and contemporary America. As the one hundredth volume in the Sun Tracks series, this work honors Gould?s legacy while expanding the canon of poetic memoir. Ideal for readers of poetry, memoir, and Indigenous literature, this book will resonate deeply with scholars, students, and anyone drawn to stories of resilience, creativity, and the enduring power of memory.
