They are able to shapeshift God into pills, prayers, seeds, and stars. \u003cem\u003eThe All + Flesh \u003c\/em\u003ehas taken root in my mind and I'm happy to let it grow there.\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Accolades_2_Auth":"Jessica Johns, author of Bad Cree","OtherText_Back_cover_copy_0":"\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBrandi is at the forefront of a wave of impressive new poetic talent emerging from Winnipeg, a group which includes Katherena Vermette, Hannah Green, and Chimwemwe Undi.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","OtherText_Review_0":"\u003cp\u003eThis is Bird’s gospel … They transform prayer into poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Review_0_Src":"British Columbia Review","OtherText_ShortDescription_0":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrandi Bird's frank, transcendent poetry explores the concepts of health, language, place, and memory in this long-anticipated debut collection.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","ProductFormDescription":"trade paperback","PublicationDate":"2023-08-08","Publisher":"House of Anansi Press Inc","ShortDescription":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrandi Bird's frank, transcendent poetry explores the concepts of health, language, place, and memory in this long-anticipated debut collection.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","Subtitle":"Poems","Width":"6","WidthCode":"in"}
