Calling Down the Sky
Calling Down the Sky | Rosanna Deerchild
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
"Calling Down the Sky" is a poetry collection that describes deep personal experiences and post generational effects of the Canadian Aboriginal Residential School confinements in the 1950's when thousands of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit children were placed in these schools against their parents' wishes. Many were forbidden to speak their language and practice their own culture. The author portrays how the ongoing impact of the residential schools problem has been felt throughout generations and has contributed to social problems that continue to exist today.

This is so good. Painfully good. Reading Rosanna Deerchild's poetry about her mother's time in a residential school and about their relationship with each other is raw and open. The poetry is simple and accessible in a straightforward, beautiful sort of way. I really love this. Highly recommended.

I'm also counting this for #readharder as my poetry collection published since 2014.
