This is a stunning debut, revealing how breaking silences and reconciling identity can refine anger into something both useful and beautiful. A poetic memoir that looks unflinchingly at childhood trauma (both incestuous rape and surviving exposure in extreme cold), it also tells the story of coming to terms with a hidden Métis heritage. Honouring the complexities of Indigenous identity and the raw experiences of womanhood, mental illness, and queer selfhood, these narratives carry weight. They tell us 'You need / only be the simple / expression of the divine / intent / that is your life.' A journey of pain, belonging, hope, and resilience, there is a lifetime in these poems."--Publisher.
