Tiffany Midge is a citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and was raised in the Pacific Northwest. She is a former humor columnist for Indian Country Today and teaches multi-genre humor writing that elevates awareness of social justice issues. Her writing has appeared in McSweeney’s, the Offing, Waxwing, Moss, and World Literature Today. She’s a Pushcart Prize recipient, an award-winning poet of three collections of poetry and has served as poet laureate for the small university town where she resides. Her newest book Bury My Heart at Chuck E. Cheese’s is a powerful and compelling prose collection about life, politics, and identity as a Native woman in America. Bury My Heart at Chuck E. Cheese's artfully blends sly humor, social commentary, and meditations on love and loss. Sarah Vowell praised Midge as “a wry, astute charmer with an eye for detail and an ear for the scruffy rhythms of American lingo.” Currently, the 2019 Simons Public Humanities fellow for University of Kansas Hall Center for the Humanities, Midge aspires to be the Distinguished Writer in Residence in the Seattle Space Needle.
