Pickpick

When I heard Tenille Campbell (Dene/Metis) read at a poetry event online, I knew I needed this collection. Her sensual poems celebrate lustiness and a large, brown body belonging to a woman who makes her own choices and remembers to look after herself. Words in Dene and Nêhiyaw language reclaim Indigenous space on the page. #Indigenous #poetry #CanadianAuthor

Centique And that cover is wonderful too! 4y
Lindy @Centique Yes, it‘s fantastic! The beadwork on the cover was created by Heather Dickinson especially for this poetry collection. There‘s a two-page artist statement at the back explaining her design choices. 4y

when you come to the door
black garbage bag in hand
full of clothes and mismatched socks
underwear she bought you
t-shirts your mom got you
I realize
loving you
would mean loving me less

I fought too hard
to be this version of me
and I‘m not raising
a grown-ass man
again

Nute Well, these words just grabbed all of my attention. Stacking! 4y
Lindy @Nute I had a similar reaction: I heard her read during an online poetry event and immediately ordered this book. 4y

I‘ve never wanted to dance
the drums don‘t call me home
swirling ribbons and colourful beads
have never entangled me
we don‘t all powwow, you know

but
but
but
watching you
big drum singer
I want to dance
for you
