In less than 6 months I lost one set of my grandparents, losing my grandmother from a long, hard and painful battle against lung cancer. Then her husband passing away less than 6 months later from multiple health problems.

OPEN: With Her Words, Poem (fig. 1). Her Words is a poetic autoethnographic response that portray an experience I had as a student in an Alter/Native Anthropology course during my first year as a junior transfer student in the autumn of 2017 at the University of Washington. The framework of the poem is inspired by Maiana Minahal’s Poem on Trying to Love without Fear and is an example of my experimentation with poetry, as an ethnographic methodology, in my responses to assignments and my experiences of learning within the dual sites of my independent research and my anthropology course.

I can kind of relate to this because my mom still looks at me as if I am a little boy.
