Waking Ground

by Shalan Joudry

Waking Ground connects the social and ecological challenges our communities face with the unresolved legacy of Canada’s settlement and its ongoing impact on the lives of Indigenous people. Attuned to language, landscape, and legacy, Shalan Joudry’s insightful and candid poems bring forward stories that speak to the resilience of Mi’kmaw culture and the collective work of healing and reconciliation that lies before us all.

Really thought-provoking. Loved the whole design of the book: sideways table of contents. Textured paper for the cover. My favorites were: Transgenerational Carvings, When it Rains, Dust, and Here.
