"Gottfriedson's poetry is built to endure, and it will remain with you long after this book is closed." - Alexander MacLeod, author of the Giller finalist, Light Lifting

Reseña del editor:

As the title suggests, this new collection of poetry from Garry Gottfriedson of the Secwepemc (Shuswap) Nation deals with the ways in which the world is deaf to the problems First Nations people face in Canada today. Gottfriedson examines such issues as the Truth and Reconciliation movements as well as the missing and murdered Aboriginal women. The poems focus not only on postcolonial issues but also on First Nations internal problems. Although the bookspeaks of age-old themes, it explores them through fresh modern eyes offering thought-provoking and engaging perspectives. Eloquent and witty, these poems are power-packed with imagery that uncovers the raw politics of race. There is nothing polite about them. While frequently offering a bleak view of present-day First Nation conditions, the poems also provide a sense of optimism: "the hope/that the coldest day in winter/will promise serenity in spring."
