The big melt / Emily Riddle. by Riddle, Emily. Nightwood Editions, 2022.

ISBN:  9780889714366 (pbk) Description:  83 p. ; 21 cm. Notes:  Poems. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  The Big Melt is a debut poetry collection rooted in nehiyaw thought and urban millennial life events. It examines what it means to repair kinship, contend with fraught history, go home and contemplate prairie and utopia in the era of late capitalism and climate change. Part memoir, part research project, this collection draws on Riddle's experience working in Indigenous governance and her affection for confessional poetry in crafting feminist works that are firmly rooted in place. This book refuses a linear understanding of time in its focus on women in the author's family, some who have passed and others who are yet to come. The Big Melt is about inheriting a Treaty relationship just as much as it is about breakups, demonstrating that governance is just as much about our interpersonal relationships as it is law and policy. How does one live one's life in a way that honours inherited responsibilities, a deep love for humour and a commitment to always learning about the tension between a culture that deeply values collectivity and the autonomy of the individual? Perhaps we find these answers in the examination of ourselves, the lands we are from and the relationships we hold. Awards:  Winner of the Griffin Poetry Canadian First Book Prize, 2023. Genre:  Canadian poetry. Autobiographical poetry.
