The gospel of breaking / Jillian Christmas. by Christmas, Jillian, 1983- Arsenal Pulp Press, 2020. Call #: 819.16 C555g Subjects Canadian poetry -- Black authors.   Canadian poetry -- Women authors.   Canadian poetry -- 21st century. ISBN:  9781551527970 (pbk) Description:  103 p. ; 20 cm. Notes:  Poems. Summary:  "In The Gospel of Breaking, Jillian Christmas confirms what followers of her performance and artistic curation have long known: there is magic in her words. Befitting someone who 'speaks things into being,' Christmas extracts from family history, queer lineage, and the political landscape of a racialized life to create a rich, softly defiant collection of poems. Christmas draws a circle around the things she calls 'holy': the family line that cannot find its root but survived to fill the skies with radiant flesh; the body, broken and unbroken and broken and new again; the lover lost, the friend lost, and the loss itself; and the hands that hold them all with brilliant, tender care. Expansive and beautiful, these poems allow readers to swim in Jillian Christmas's mother-tongue and to dream at her shores."--Publisher. Genre:  Canadian poetry.
