That’s all I want.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer mother hadn’t given the matter of love any particular thought, since it never would have occurred to her that pale Mayya, so silent and still, would think about anything in this mundane world beyond her threads and the selvages of her fabrics, or that she would hear anything other than the clatter of her sewing machine. Mayya seemed to hardly shift position throughout the day, or even halfway into the night, her form perched quietly on the narrow, straight-backed wood chair in front of the black sewing machine with the image of a butterfly on its side. She barely even lifted her head, unless she needed to look as she groped for her scissors or fished another spool of thread out of the plastic sewing basket which always sat in her small wood utility chest. But Mayya heard everything in the world there was to hear. She noticed the brilliant hues life could have, however motionless her body might be. Her mother was grateful that Mayya’s appetite was so meagre (even if, now and then, she felt vestiges of guilt). She hoped fervently, though she would never have put her hope into words, that one of these days someone would come along who respected Mayya’s talents as a seamstress as much as he might appreciate her abstemious ways. The someone she envisioned would give Mayya a fine wedding procession after which he would take her home with all due ceremony and regard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat someone arrived.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs usual Mayya was seated on that narrow chair, bent over the sewing machine at the far end of the long sitting room that opened onto the compound’s private courtyard.

From Northern Ontario to Nunavut, Norway, Brazil, Australia, and the United States, the Indigenous experience in colonized nations is startlingly similar and deeply disturbing. It is an experience marked by the violent separation of Peoples from the land, the separation of families, and the separation of individuals from traditional ways of life — all of which has culminated in a spiritual separation that has had an enduring impact on generations of Indigenous children. As a result of this colonial legacy, too many communities today lack access to the basic determinants of health — income, employment, education, a safe environment, health services — leading to a mental health and youth suicide crisis on a global scale.

By examining kinship in broader contexts, these frank, transcendent poems expose binaries that exist inside those relationships, then inspect and tease them apart in the hope of moving toward decolonial future(s). Bird’s work is highly concerned with how outer and inner landscapes move and change within the confines of the English language, particularly the “I” of the self, a tradition of movement that has been lost for many who don’t speak their Indigenous languages or live on their homelands. By exploring the landscapes the poet does inhabit, both internally and externally, Bird’s poems seek to delve into and reflect their cultural lineages—specifically Saulteaux, Cree, and Métis—and how these transformative identities shape the person they are today.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-02-23T16:49:40-05:00","created_at":"2023-02-23T15:53:49-05:00","vendor":"House of Anansi Press Inc","type":"","tags":["Adult Award Winning","Adult BIPOC Voices","Adult Poetry","By (author) Bird Brandi","House of Anansi Press","pub date: 2023-08-08"],"price":1699,"price_min":1699,"price_max":1999,"available":true,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":41136186622011,"title":"trade paperback","option1":"trade paperback","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781487011826","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"The All + Flesh - trade paperback","public_title":"trade paperback","options":["trade paperback"],"price":1999,"weight":168,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781487011826","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]},{"id":41136228007995,"title":"epub","option1":"epub","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781487011833","requires_shipping":false,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"The All + Flesh - epub","public_title":"epub","options":["epub"],"price":1699,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":null,"barcode":"9781487011833","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/houseofanansi.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BNCImageAPI_3128e617-962a-401e-ab39-501f8b9d9016.jpg?v=1744826744"],"featured_image":"\/\/houseofanansi.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BNCImageAPI_3128e617-962a-401e-ab39-501f8b9d9016.jpg?v=1744826744","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Cover: The All + Flesh, poems by Brandi Bird.
