Standing in a River of Time by Jnna Kirton (English) Paperback Book

Description: Standing in a River of Time by Jnna Kirton A lyric unravelling of painful memories and a Mtis womens journey towards wholeness. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Standing in a River of Time merges poetry and lyrical memoir on a journey exposing the intergenerational effects of colonization on a Mtis family. Kirton does not shy away from hard realities, meeting them head on, but always treating them with respect and the love stemming from a lifetime of spiritual healing and decades of sobriety. This collection unravels painful memories and a mixed-blood womans journey towards wholeness. The Ancestors whisper to Kirton throughout, asking her to heal, to bring them home, so that within these stories of redemption and loss the dead walk with us, their presence felt as the story unfurls in unexpected ways. Kirton does not offer false hope, nor does she push us towards answers we are not yet ready for. Instead, she gestures towards the many healing modalities she has explored as she discovers that the path to reconciliation is not only a long and winding road, but also that it begins with those closest to us.

A late-blooming poet, she was sixty-one when she received the 2016 City of Vancouvers Mayors Arts Award for an Emerging Artist in the Literary Arts category. A board member of the Indigenous Editors Association, she works with both Indigenous and non-Indigenous authors and poets.Her first collection of poetry, page as bone ink as blood, was released by Talonbooks in 2015; Joanne Arnott described it as "restorative, intimate poetry, drawing down ancestral ideas into the current moments breath." Talonbooks released her second collection, An Honest Woman, in 2017. It was a finalist for the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize; Betsy Warland said of it: "Kirton picks over how she was raised familially and culturally like a crime scene." Review "Kirton travels backward and forward in her life, weaving poetry and lyric prose into a formally taut, spiritually expansive memoir of trauma, loss and survival." – Winnipeg Free Press Long Description Standing in a River of Time merges poetry and lyrical memoir on a journey exposing the intergenerational effects of colonization on a M Description for Sales People Poems on the intergenerational effect of colonization on a M Details ISBN177201379X Language English Year 2022 ISBN-10 177201379X ISBN-13 9781772013795 Format Paperback Pages 192 Country of Publication Canada Imprint Talon Books,Canada Place of Publication Vancouver UK Release Date 2022-04-21 Publisher Talon Books,Canada DEWEY 811.6 Audience General AU Release Date 2022-09-05 Publication Date 2022-06-09 Author Jnna Kirton Edition Description New edition Illustrations Illustrations We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
