Indigena California

Indigena California is Shawn McCann’s debut chapbook. It is a short collection of poems that journey into the minds of California’s plant life, and a few creatures that live among them, to peel back the veil and give them the words to express their inner most spirits. Each poem/narrative letter gives you their emotional depth, their individual perspective on creation itself, and their assessment of you. They show how some are just enjoying life, some are bitter about the ups and downs of sunshine, and some are our oldest defenders who would gladly give up their lives, but mostly, they are alone.
