Following loosely as a companion to\u003ci\u003e Skeena\u003c\/i\u003e (Caitlin Press, 2015), \u003ci\u003e Lot\u003c\/i\u003e is written entirely of couplets, mirroring the two main islands of Haida Gwaii, and draws on lyric traditions, assemblage, and investigative poetry techniques to re-imagine geological and anthropological data, re-read colonial documents, and interrogate the role of language in centering stories of white supremacy on and about the islands. Written in a time of ostensible Truth and Reconciliation in lands now called Canada, a time when the Government of British Columbia has declared support for the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples but continues to arrest Indigenous peoples in their homes and on unceded lands, \u003ci\u003eLot \u003c\/i\u003edraws a firm, and yet poetic, line between historic and present-day white-Euro-colonial violence. Through structure, form, and sound, the poems in \u003ci\u003eLot\u003c\/i\u003e insist on the possibilities of poetry to create better worlds, to utter something anew.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah de Leeuw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1773860763\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781773860763\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Caitlin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Sarah de Leeuw","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056554209535,"sku":"9781773860763","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d65e7e6-5e6f-4ceb-a5b5-34e036a12d7e.jpg?v=1685041944","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lot-sarah-de-leeuw-9781773860763","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
