Undeniably political, Gill's poems ask: How can one reclaim a narrative that has been confiscated and distorted by colonizers?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poet's young avatar reaches new levels on Nintendo, stays up too late online, wakes to her period on class photo day, and carves her lovers' names into every surface imaginable. Encompassing twenty-first-century imperialism, coercive assimilation, and 90s-kid culture, the collection is threaded with the speaker's desires, her searching: for fresh water to \"take the edge off,\" for a \"habitable word,\" for sex. For her \"true north\"--her voice and her identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike the life cycle of the \u003ci\u003eouananiche\u003c\/i\u003e that frames this collection, the speaker's journey is cyclical; immersed in teenage moments of confusion and life on the reserve, she retraces her scars to let in what light she can, and perhaps in the end discover what to \"make of herself\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marie-Andr馥 Gill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771665971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771665971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Book*hug Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e French\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 5.20w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/20\/2020","brand":"Marie-Andr馥 Gill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995833008383,"sku":"9781771665971","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_214d8ce2-ccb7-404a-81bf-009993d44986.jpg?v=1683338118","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spawn-marie-andree-gill-9781771665971","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
