📘 I Won T Ever Learn by Katherena Vermette

For Katherena Vermette, Winnipeg's North End is a neighbourhood of colourful birds, stately elms, and always wily rivers. It is where a brother's disappearance is trivialized by local media and police because he is young and aboriginal. It is also where young girls share secrets, movies, cigarettes, Big Gulps and stories of love—where a young mother full of both maternal trepidation and joy watches her small daughters as tehy play in the park.

📘 Another life

by Derek Walcott

"Derek Walcott's autobiographical poem, Another life, is a loving tribute to the island of his birth and to the people who shared the intimate experiences of his childhood. It is also a personal odyssey, amplified to almost eipic proportions by the extensive themes that encompass his native country and reach deeply into the culture of the New World"--Cover.

📘 On/Me

by Francine Cunningham

From the publisher: "Francine Cunningham lives with constant reminders that she doesn’t fit the desired expectations of the world: she is a white-passing, city-raised Indigenous woman with mental illness who has lost her mother. In her debut poetry collection On/Me, Cunningham explores, with keen attention and poise, what it means to be forced to exist within the margins. Cunningham does not hold back: she holds a lens to residential schools, intergenerational trauma, Indigenous Peoples forcibly sent to sanatoriums, systemic racism and mental illness, and translates these topics into lived experiences that are nuanced, emotional, funny and heartbreaking all at once. On/Me is an encyclopedia of Cunningham, who shares some of her most sacred moments with the hope to spark a conversation that needs to be had."
