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\r\n\u003cp\u003eI am made of centuries \u0026 carbohydrates\u003cbr\u003e\r\nthe development of my molars\u003cbr\u003e\r\nthe hunger the teeth grew\u003cbr\u003e\r\nhas been with me since childhood\u003cbr\u003e\r\nI can’t escape the mouths of others\u003c\/p\u003e","EAN":"9781487011826","excerpt_0":"https:\/\/biblioshare.org\/BNCservices\/BNCServices.asmx\/Samples?token=fcf85c1c1b298e99\u0026amp;ean=9781487011826\u0026amp;SAN=\u0026amp;Perspective=excerpt\u0026amp;FileNumber=0","Height":"8","HeightCode":"in","Imprint":"House of Anansi Press","MetaKeywords":"leanne betasamosake simpson;this accident of being lost;noopiming;billy ray belcourt;ndn coping mechanisms;thomas king;the truth about stories;katherena vermette;the break;indigenous studies;canadian poetry","NumberOfPages":"96","OtherText_Accolades_0":"\u003cp\u003eSince hearing Brandi Bird at a reading in a park in summertime recite the lines, “I know \/ then that there is hope \/ until I die \u0026 then \/ there is other \/ people’s hope,” I have thought about them many times, they have merged with my own consciousness.

As visual as it is lyrical, Wani announces herself as a poet who pushes the experimentation of form forward, taking bold risks and literally reinventing the way that we see language. ‘A mosque is always directed toward Mecca.

I could not stop loving lines, wanting to be sure I remembered them always. They progress with such sureness into marvelous and unexpected directions: ‘God climbs so many trees. Religion is a ladder. We are meant to help Him down.’ Over and over, Wani practices the act of artful surrender to each poem’s strange, budding logic. That she can do so with such apparent ease is astonishing.
