Guard the Mysteries
-
Guard the Mysteries is a compendium of five talks presented by poet Cedar Sigo for the Bagley Wright Lecture Series. Retracing the ways in which he first encountered the realm of poetry, Sigo plumbs the particulars of modern critique, identity politics, early influences, and poetic form to produce a singular autobiography of voice. Across these lectures, Sigo explores his childhood on the Suquamish Reservation, while paying homage to revolutionary artists, teachers, and thinkers whom have shaped his poetic aesthetic. Simultaneously timeless and extremely timely, these talks ponder the presences that California Buddhism, LGBTQ+ experiences, and Native Nations occupy in the poetic world and the world at large.

These influences are as present, as vital to the text, as the biographical details Sigo includes—about growing up on the Suquamish Reservation, about having a sexual awakening upon seeing a naked picture of Allen Ginsberg, about taking the ferry into Seattle and getting books and coffee in the University District.
