His latest book, \u003cem\u003eBeaver Hills Forever\u003c\/em\u003e, takes a riotous, uncompromising look at the intertwined lives of four characters, each an abstract expression of the few paths available to M?tis people on the Prairies. In alternating poetic verses, Buddy, Baby Momma, Fancy University Boy, and Aunty Prof share their inner dreams, hardships, delusions of grandeur, and existential plights. While the messy day-to-day is created by their own doing, the lives of these four individuals are doubly compromised by Canada's colonial education system and resource extraction industries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA beguiling and genre-bending work, \u003cem\u003eBeaver Hills Forever\u003c\/em\u003e offers a moving, necessary exploration of education, labour, and the dynamic, ever-changing bonds that bring us back to each other.
