Blue Indians Books: Hentz releases new creative non-fiction
Blue Hand Books Collective: Hentz releases new creative non-fiction: ON EBAY! here
Greenfield,
Massachusetts [2018] -- “There is a clear sense of urgency in my new
book, on a vast variety of topics” said Blue Hand Books
founder and award winning journalist Trace L Hentz, author of Mental
Midgets| Musqonocihte “It’s a Miracle We’ve Survived This
Far,” (ISBN: 9781731074010, Publisher:
Blue Hand Books, Massachusetts).
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“It’s quite clear we are distressed with changes all around us,
and it’s gone global,” Hentz explained. “John Trudell said it best in an interview I share in the
book. ‘The answer is NON-COOPERATION and a clear coherent thinking
human being…”
Trudell didn’t
waste words. Neither does Hentz.
She describes this
twin book as a collection of factoids, thoughts, quips, code, quotes, photos,
thought bombs, creative non-fiction, Native American history and prose. And
it’s short (91 pages). Musqonichte translates Blue Sky.
Horror writer and blogger KC Redding gave
early praise for the new work, “I like the format of Midgets, the way
each work sneaks up on you by yelling in your ear first. Kind of reminds me of walk softly, big stick
words...”
On the book jacket, Poet and author MariJo Moore writes, "Prepare yourself for a short journey
into a long reality. Do yourself a favor and read and reread with an opening
mind. This author knows of what she writes....."
After cancer surgery in May, Hentz said the book itself came
together quickly, quite like the miracle we’ve survived this far, a recent quote
from Noam Chomsky in the new book.
“Everything about this twin book surprises me. From the book size (8 in. x 10 in.), to using my photos, I started collecting thoughts maybe five years ago and joked to friends I hoped to get (Mental Midgets) done this century.” Then it morphed into two books. Hentz knows it’s timely. “You will want to sit with this book. It may be short, but it takes long thinking.”
In 2011 Trace Lara Hentz started the collective Blue Hand Books to
help other Native writers publish their books and pay it forward. Now she is writing as fast as she can.
In 2019, she has reopened her publishing company as BLUE INDIANS BOOKS.

QUOTE
The Argonauts and Citizen
are each less than 160 pages long. They’re built from fragments and
vignettes that don’t so much combine genres—personal essay, critical
theory, poetry, and photography—as they put them into a blender and
shred them. Both play with method and perspective to offer insight into
crucial subjects... The Argonauts won a National Book Critics Circle Award, Citizen was a finalist for a National Book Award, and both can be found in major bookstores just about everywhere.
Shred? Combine? Mental Midgets... exactly!
