A Review of Amber McCrary’s Blue Corn Tongue: Poems in the Mouth of the Desert
by Manny Loley
In Blue Corn Tongue, Amber reflects on the ways we connect with loved ones, the land, our cultural heritages, and ourselves. With her unique voice that can be deeply thoughtful and funny like your favorite auntie, Amber shapes language and experience on the page to help readers formulate their own connections with Diné Bikéyah, as in Tuba City and Shonto, and familiar spaces near the rez like Hoozdoh and Flagstaff. Her poems traverse the imposed boundaries of the settler state to offer a fuller portrait of an angsty Diné Asdzáá, and the reader is welcomed into her heart and mind.
Submissions
As Diné, we value the wisdom and teachings present in ancestral stories, ceremonial stories, family stories, and our histories. We take submissions year round.
2025:
new publisher edition
We are excited to announce the change in ownership. Our goal is to share stories, preserve, and share our culture, traditions, and teachings. From our mutton sandwiches to our oldest tales spoken while traveling across our favorite back roads.

“The most rewarding part of my job is managing the team and being in the office with them, where we laugh, share stories, and build deep connections. I take immense joy in seeing our culture celebrated within our community.”

“We are rebranding – with intention, with heart. Like a story shared around the fire or a sunrise over the mesa, we want each word and image to feel like medicine. A place where our stories are seen, welcomed, and held.”
