Bøger af Marilyn Dumont

A nuanced, relational, and community-minded new book from one of Canada's preeminent poets.South Side of a Kinless River wrestles with concepts of Métis identity in a nation and territory that would rather erase it. Métis identity, land loss, sexual relationships between Indigenous women and European men, and midwifery by Indigenous women of the nascent settler communities figure into these poems. They add up to a Métis woman's prairie history, one that helps us feel the violence in how those contributions and wisdoms have been suppressed and denied."Each poem is an anthem, every page showcasing the talent and necessity of this incredible poetic voice. Dumont brings the Métis tone, cadence and intricate stitch-work into all she creates." - Cherie Dimaline, author of The Marrow Thieves and Empire of the Wild"The voice of this Métis woman is as loving, tender and humane, as it is powerful, satirical and political?" - Rita Bouvier, author of a beautiful rebellion

Selected works from Marilyn Dumont, a Cree/Métis poet who has written about Métis kinscapes and Métis presence from her first book in 1997 to now.
