  • The memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, volume 2 : a true and exact accounting of the history of Turtle Island

    Creator

    Monkman, Kent

    Abstract

    From global art superstar Kent Monkman and his long-time collaborator Gisèle Gordon, a transformational work of true stories and imagined history that will remake readers' understanding of the land called North America. For decades, the singular and provocative paintings by Cree artist Kent Monkman have featured a recurring character--an alter ego of sorts, a shape-shifting, time-travelling elemental being named Miss Chief Eagle Testickle. Though we have glimpsed her across the years in films and on countless canvases, it is finally time to hear her story, in her own words.

  • Empty spaces

    Creator

    Abel, Jordan

    Abstract

    Jordan Abel's extraordinary new book and debut work of fiction, Empty Spaces, grows out of his groundbreaking visual expression in NISHGA. That book integrated descriptions of the landscape from James Fenimore Cooper's settler classic The Last of the Mohicans into visual compositions. In Empty Spaces, Abel reinscribes those words on the page itself and in doing so subjects them to bold re-writings.

  • A beautiful rebellion : poems

    Creator

    Bouvier, Rita

    Abstract

    This evocative new poetry collection speaks with a fierce tenderness of many aspects of the poet's life: a childhood spent on the banks of the Churchill River, the death of a beloved one, the struggle to try to find forgiveness for wrongs done and the weariness of trying to redress those wrongs. And, most poignantly, a beautiful rebellion reaches one hand back to Louis Riel and one hand forward to future Metis generations.
