Reflecting on a dual upbringing in two villages, Bobcaygeon (Canada/Turtle Island) and Badela (Sierra Leone), Jessica Hiemstra's new collection of poems delves into her relationship with home. In Blood Root, she interrogates questions of legacy, land, belonging, and the breathtaking intimacy of death.
One moment tender, the next moment dark, hard, and raw, Blood Root blends diary entries, drawings, and lyricism to hold up a polished mirror to colonialism and its echoing impact. Considering beauty and horror in equal reverence "so I'm not human once removed," Hiemstra cuts through pretence, bearing witness to humans as they confront and connect to one another and the larger world.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Goose Lane EditionsISBN-13:9781773104225ISBN-10:1773104225UPC:9781773104225Book Category:PoetryBook Subcategory:Canadian, Women AuthorsSize:8.43 x 5.43 x 0.32 inchesWeight:0.35Product ID:SCKXE9P8Q0
