Welcome to Litsy!

This collection by Saskatoon Mėtis poet Rita Bouvier depicts personal relationships, nature, and indigenous Canadian historical injustice. I was particularly interested in the latter topic; those poems sometimes worked. But sadly, I found little energy, surprise, or much of anything in the way of interesting images here. They were leaden with cliché, and the more personal ones barely rose above the dull sentimentality of a Hallmark card greeting.

This is a book of poetry by an indigenous Canadian writer from my home province of Saskatchewan, focused primarily on the near-genocidal injustice Canada perpetrated on her people via the residential schools. I was shocked, SHOCKED, that Amazon Japan had this in stock in their Tokyo warehouse (i.e., not via a 3rd-party seller)!

@Lindy I hope you are sitting down when you see I acquired a book of poetry! Have you heard of her?
