Description

How might poetic practices undermine racist ideologies and colonialism, engendering ecological attentiveness, and anomalous and compassionate communities Christine Stewarts Treaty 6 Deixis takes up these timely and pressing questions as it investigates what it means to be a non-Indigenous inhabitant of Canadas Treaty 6 territory, in this city, on this land, in this country, on this planet, in a way that acknowledges and honours all my obligations and all my relations, the complex web of connective tissues that keep me here. (Deixis is a word or phrase like this, that, now, then that points to the time, place, or situation in which a speaker is speaking or a writer is writing.)

, Stewarts long-anticipated first solo trade collection, is an exemplary, ethically engaged, and much-needed exploration, and a step towards reconciliation.
