About Hannah Bernice
In 2019, during the Standing Rock winter encampments, Hannah Bernice recited 'Saltwater Covenant', a 47-line poem stitched from Lakota water prayers, Black feminist theory, and her own grandmother’s blues lyrics, into a handheld recorder as pipeline security dismantled tents nearby. That recording went viral not for its protest fervor but for its refusal to separate grief from grammar: every line breaks where breath fails, every stanza ends with an unanswered question posed to the land itself. She co-founded the Ink & Ashes Collective, which trains incarcerated writers in decolonial poetics using only recycled paper and charcoal pencils, and her chapbook 'Burnt Tongue Almanac' was banned in three states, not for obscenity, but because school boards objected to its requirement that readers annotate marginalia *in their own blood* (a symbolic act, clarified in the preface). Her work insists poetry is not witness, it’s testimony with teeth.
