Description:
<p>Featured on <i>Quill &amp; Quire's</i> Fall Preview</p><p><b>A nuanced, relational, and community-minded new book from one of Canada's preeminent poets.</b></p><p><i>South Side of a Kinless River </i>wrestles with concepts of M&#233;tis identity in a nation and territory that would rather erase it. M&#233;tis identity, land loss, sexual relationships between Indigenous women and European men, and midwifery by Indigenous women of the nascent settler communities figure into these poems. They add up to a M&#233;tis woman's prairie history, one that helps us feel the violence in how those contributions and wisdoms have been suppressed and denied.</p><p>&#34;Each poem is an anthem, every page showcasing the talent and necessity of this incredible poetic voice. Dumont brings the M&#233;tis tone, cadence and intricate stitch-work into all she creates.&#34;<br> - Cherie Dimaline, author of <i>The Marrow Thieves</i> and <i>Empire of the Wild</i></p><p>&#34;The voice of this M&#233;tis woman is as loving, tender and humane, as it is powerful, satirical and political...&#34;<br> - Rita Bouvier, author of <i>a beautiful rebellion</i></p>
