Thrilled to finally get to dig into Jake Skeets newest collection. Part way through and not at all disappointing. So good. Snag a copy if you can. #read #books #indigenous #poetry

Methinks this could be an issue. A feedback loop chasing away more readers. Any other thoughts on this from Canadian poets, writers, and/or readers? Should our awards and the like be more inclusive?

COVER REVEAL ALERT We are still a hot minute away from the 2027 arrival of Ahkonachimu (Kegedonce Press). But we've got a cover. Chantal Lalonde, who has designed all three of my previous Kegedonce collections, has returned with another truly beautiful covers. #books #indigenous #poetry #canlit

The ghosts of waterways, the markers of lost towns, the medicine we leave behind, is etched in water, frozen or free. Any season is the right season for books. But the spirit moons in these last months of year call for them more strongly. #indigenous #poetry #books #writing #reading #midwest

Flow into a new season in one of Canada’s most celebrated literary landscapes, with Leaf Counter. A lyric decolonial romp through the Ontario’s famed Prince Edward County, Leaf Counter draws us through the poetics of the land and the struggles of the poet as decolonizer #books #indigenous #poetry

Absolutely floored by this thoughtful and in-depth review of Commonwealth (Kegedonce Press). My newest collection is still not officially out in the world and in our trying contemporary times, making space for reconciliation and healing of our land is so critical. #writing #books #poetry #canlit

Laughable that this is news to settler scientists. Yes. Our ancestors have made canoes for a long time. And many of our nations were considerably more technologically advanced than "Western Cultures." They could have asked. But then again, we are rarely believed or respected. #indigenous #history

Migration is central to what we are & fills our artistic lives. Knowing that the land matters and that we are able to freely move upon is central to our true selves.
