Linda Hogan writes poetry, novels and essays about Indigenous life, land, environmental damage and the relationships between human and non-human worlds. Mean Spirit, set during the Oklahoma oil boom, follows Osage families facing murder and dispossession as wealth from oil attracts organised exploitation. Solar Storms centres on Angel, a young woman reconnecting with female relatives and ancestral land while a hydroelectric project threatens the northern landscape, and Power turns on the killing of an endangered panther within a fictional Native community. Hogan's prose is lyrical and attentive to animals, weather and place, but her novels are also grounded in legal, economic and familial pressures. Her work fits Indigenous American literature, environmental fiction and literary historical fiction, with useful comparisons to Louise Erdrich and Leslie Marmon Silko. Read more Less
