2019., Book*hug Press Call No: IND 811.6 W368i Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "If poetry is a place to question, I Am a Body of Land by Shannon Webb-Campbell is an attempt to explore a relationship to poetic responsibility and accountability, and frame poetry as a form of re-visioning. Here Webb-Campbell revisits the text of her earlier work Who Took My Sister? to examine her self, her place and her own poetic strategies. These poems are efforts to decolonize, unlearn, and undo harm. Reconsidering individual poems and letters, Webb-Campbell’s confessional writing circles back, and challenges what it means ask questions of her own settler-Indigenous identity, belonging, and attempts to cry out for community, and call in with love. Edited for the press, and with an introduction by Lee Maracle; includes an an afterword by the author."--.

[2015]., Adult, Breakwater Call No: IND 811.6 C192s Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Shannon Webb-Campbell's Still No Word seeks the appearance of the self in others and the recognition of others within the self. Patient, searching, questioning, and at times heartbreaking -- these poems reveal the deep past within the present tense and the interrelations that make our lives somehow both whole and unfinished. And though Webb-Campbell is political at times, this is not politics for the sake of politics: here, it's a matter of the human heart. Ranging from reflective to angry, from sensual to humourous, her poetry inhabits that mercurial space between the public and the private -- a remarkably accomplished debut collection. Shannon Webb-Campbell is a poet, writer, and journalist of mixed Aboriginal ancestry. This is her first collection of poems. She lives in Halifax"--Provided by publisher.
