Heart-wrenching episodes related through a gentle introspective delivery of an ancient culture and tradition. These poems are empowering relaying tragic memories with a power that cannot be denied. The primordial lovely sky of the title summoned down. This volume can serve indigenous people as a reminder, a set of short prayer/stories to recount the historic truth and to retain it.
A powerful, poetic narrative recounting a mother's residential school experience. Deerchild captures her mother's voice in a clear, direct style that feels like you're sharing tea in her kitchen.
