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"}

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.
