4/5 stars
In these micro poems, writing and love are acts of decolonial resilience. Rooted in Nitassinan, the territory and ancestral home of the Ilnu Nation, they echo the Ilnu oral tradition in her interrogation and reclamation of the language, land, and interpersonal intimacies distorted by imperialism. They navigate Gill's interior landscape—of heartbreak, humour, and, ultimately, unrelenting light—amidst the boreal geography.
I enjoyed this poetry collection a lot as I hadn't read many like it before so it felt fresh and new. I liked how they all made me feel and how they made me think and I love the author's way of writing. I felt connected to the author through these poems.
