<p><b>2023 Indigenous Voices Awards Shortlist</b></p><p><b>The poems in <i>Trailer Park Shakes</i> are direct and vernacular, rooted in community&#8212;a working-class M&#233;tis voice rarely heard from.</b></p> <p>These poems, while dreamlike and playful, bear unflinching witness to the workings of injustice&#8212;how violence is channeled through institutions and refracted intimately between people, becoming intertwined with the full range of human experience, including care and love. <i>Trailer Park Shakes</i> is a book that seems to want to hold everything&#8212;an entire cross-section of lived experience&#8212;written by a poet whose courage, attention, and capacity to trace contradiction inspire trust in her words' embrace. Dion-Glowa's poems are quietly philosophical, with a heartfelt, self-possessed politic.</p> <p>&#34;Dion-Glowa's voice crackles with frank, startling insight.&#34; &#8212; Sachiko Murakami, author of <i>Render</i></p> <p>&#34;A collection that should and will rattle your cage and shine a light where it is needed.&#34; &#8212; John Brady McDonald, author of <i>Kitotam</i></p>
