"I will do anything to avoid boredom. It is the task of a lifetime. You can never know enough, never work enough, never use the infinitives and participles oddly enough. In fifty-three fascicles I copied out everything that was said, things vast distances
apart." β€”Anne Carson, from the Introduction of π™Žπ™π™€π™§π™© 𝙏𝙖𝙑𝙠𝙨 (π˜½π™§π™žπ™˜π™  π˜½π™€π™€π™ π™¨ π˜Ύπ™‘π™–π™¨π™¨π™žπ™˜π™¨)

"These poems proclaim the land is alive, and reclaim an attunement to the world we badly need. Reading them I’ve felt admiration, pain, fear, despair, humility, gratitude, hope, and finally, joy.”―Maureen Scott Harris, author of Slow Curve Out

Inspired by Tommy Pico and Kae Tempest, Avis Blackbird draws on her personal experiences of her youth in the city, removed from Indigenous traditions, to her adulthood, where she and her family healed their connection to their cultural pride.

Available October 27. Pre-order now: https://www.brickbooks.ca/shop/lightning-in-our-roots-by-avis-blackbird/

This book is past and present at war with each other; it’s also the future emerging from the page-by-page bout.
