"Sy Hoahwah has written poems that tear down the bridges between the Comanche and America. He travels the warrior road. His inheritance and obligation is to protect and guard his peoples' way. Hoahwah's wry sense of justice and literary knowledge paints a new road on the tapestry of Indigenous resistance."—Lance Henson, author of The Missing Bead: Poems for the Cheyenne "Sy Hoahwah's Trials and Tribulations of Dirty Shame, Oklahoma remarkably represents a Comanche-centric narrative that creatively migrates through our tribal geography and history. There is a hero's journey in search of vengeance, justice, and redemption in a creative world that reflects our own mixed, and mixed-up, selves in search of something deeper and more meaningful as human beings."—Dustin Tahmahkera, author of Cinematic Comanches: The Lone Ranger in the Media Borderlands
