Skin (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781771316767)

"home is a confluence of stories that continue / home is a low hum"

Skin is a haunting, genre-blurring collection rooted in Treaty 8 territory, where memory, place, and loss intertwine. Meditating on the difficulty of belonging, especially when shaped by both colonial and communal wounds, Pennock lets spectral inheritances speak. Through lyrical, found, and experimental forms, Pennock excavates what--and who--is remembered, grieved, and built upon in the violent memoryscapes of the prairies. Here, haunting is methodology: ghosts are kin, time loops, and memory scratches at the walls. Rather than resolving, Skin conjures. It listens. It offers poetry as a kind of skin--porous, protective, remembering--for those still finding their way home.
