Description
xShortlisted for the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize, 2020
In this volume of poetry, Joseph A Dandurand lives the experiences of an Aboriginal people brought to the edge of extinction.
From the Author's Note:"The poems in this collection tell the truth of what has happened to my people. The Kwantlen people used to number in the thousands, but 80% of our people were wiped out by smallpox and now there are only 200 of us...I believe the gift of words was given to me so I can tell our stories...The poems gathered here tell the tale of a Kwantlen man who has been given the gift of healing but also is a heroin addict living on the east side.
"This is a book of hope, loss, and redemption for all the poor souls who find themselves on the street and lost from where they truly come."
These poems tell the story of a Kwantlen man who has been given the gift of healing but is also is a heroin addict.
