<p><b><i>Blood</i> follows a Two-Spirit Indigenous person as they navigate urbanity, queerness, and a kaleidoscope of dreams, memory, and kinship.</b></p> <p>Conceived in the same world as their acclaimed debut, <i>Bones</i>, Tyler Pennock's <i>Blood</i> centres around a protagonist who at first has difficulty knowing the difference between connection and pain, and we move with them as they explore what it means to <i>want.</i> Pennock weaves longing, intimacy, and Anishinaabe relationalities to recentre and rethink their speaker's relationship to the living&#8212;never forgetting non-human kin.</p> <p>This book is a look at how deep history is represented in the everyday; it also tries to answer how one person can challenge the impacts of that history. It is a reminder that Indigenous people carry the impacts of colonial history and wrestle with them constantly. <i>Blood</i> explores the relationships between spring and winter, ice and water, static things and things beginning to move, and what emerges in the thaw.</p> <p>&#34;A music as sensitive as it is revelatory.&#34; &#8212; Canisia Lubrin, author of <i>The Dyzgraphxst</i></p>
