Signs of Being is a collection of poetry, prose, and commentary born from the insights, observations, and experiences of C.T. Perez to understand the realms of CHamoru cultural identity. This work aims to articulate the mindscape of an indigenous CHamoru consciousness through ec(h)o literature: literature that interprets signs in the natural environment as echoes from ancestors. Guided by her saina, or elders, Perez invites readers to join her on a journey through the complexities and intricacies of identity, heritage, memory, and place.
C.T. Perez was raised in Guam. Her writing has appeared in Indigenous Literatures from Micronesia and Indigenous Women: The Right to a Voice, among other publications. She has an M.A. in Pacific Islands Studies from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa and an M.Ed. in Vision Studies from the University of Massachusetts Boston.
