there is a place
with fields of northern wheat
needle-and-thread
& mixed-grass prairie
full of saskatoon berries
sage-smoke & yarrow
wild columbine & aster
where the trees grow crooked
by swift-flowing rivers
& grassy hills where buffalo used to jump
where grandpa & dad live
with skin like desert sunsets
& humour as dark as their morning coffee
nîkihk (my home)
a place
where many bridges connect the land
the land of the living skies

ROOM 49.3 NO CANADA
In the new era of CanCon, as feminists and writers it is our task to reject this Canadian exceptionalism, this too-comfortable back-patting. How can we begin to imagine alternative arts economies, Indigenous economies around art, that start with treaty, that align with BDS? What art, what literature, would such a system free us to create?
Seeking members who love literature, events, merchandise, and supporting marginalized creators.
