Terra Trevor is an essayist, a memoirist, a contributor to fifteen books, and the author of two memoirs, We Who Walk the Seven Ways (University of Nebraska Press) and Pushing up the Sky: A Mother's Story (KAAN Books). Her essays appear widely in journals and anthologies, including Tending the Fire: Native Voices and Portraits (University of New Mexico Press), Children of the Dragonfly: Native American Voices on Child Custody and Education (The University of Arizona Press), The People Who Stayed: Southeastern Indian Writing After Removal (University of Oklahoma Press), Unpapered: Writers Consider Native American Identity and Cultural Belonging (University of Nebraska Press), Voices Confronting Pediatric Brain Tumors (Johns Hopkins University Press), Take A Stand: Art Against Hate (A Raven Chronicles Anthology), and Yellow Medicine Review: A Journal of Indigenous Literature, Art, and Thought.

Author's Note
Some of my essays and stories are serious/substantial and are balanced with lighter topics. A dozen were first published decades ago. Some are new, and all have been previously published in a variety of publications. Most of all, my writing is timeless (vs timely).
