      2022., Book*hug Press Call No: NEW QWF 814.6 H166d   Edition: First edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Essais (Toronto, Ont.)   Volume: 15Summary Note: Part essay, part poem, part fever dream journal entry, Dream Rooms is a book about personal revolution, about unravelling a worldview to make space for different selves and realities. Set in the years that led up to author River Halen coming out as trans, this collection concerns itself with what sits on the surface of daily life, hidden in plain view, hungry for address--what it means to take a stranger's pet rabbit to the vet in a year of accelerating extinctions, to lose your clothes to a moth infestation then buy a duvet made of fossil fuels, to learn your bookshelf is full of work written by rapists and rape apologists, to consider a birth control device as a narrative about bodies and their possibilities, then pull the string. Written with precision, humour, and sweeping lyrical insight, this work moves effortlessly from microcosm to macrocosm and back again, demonstrating the inextricability of self and world and how a shift in language or understanding in one realm ripples out. Deeply queer and trans not only in its content but in its thinking, Dream Rooms invites readers to that place in consciousness where fear and desire, hidden information and common knowledge brush up against each other and are mutually transformed.

      2022., McGill-Queen's University Press Call No: QWF 811.6 S785h    Availability:2 of 2     At Your Library Series Title: Hugh MacLennan poetry seriesSummary Note: A keeper of things forgotten, a vase / for pictures made by words, a riverbed / for the stories you tell, an earthen silhouette / of a child With vivid imagery and endless compassion for subjects, Tanya Standish McIntyre's words breathe life. Her richly lyrical phrases capture both the fear and the beauty of growing up in a rural working-class community, anchored by the magical bond between a young girl and her grandfather. Way's Mills, Quebec, is the setting for these poems, although as with Mark Twain's Mississippi, place becomes a place in the heart in this elegy for lost ancestral farms. Standish McIntyre gives voice to the unspoken, shining a light into the dark corners of our collective memory to reveal an indelible past that gleams with clarity, empathy, and humanity. Taking seed in the dilapidated barns and warm sunlit rooms of Standish McIntyre's personal history, these poems weave a filigree of well-worn remembrances and time-honoured treaties of the self, half forgotten yet ever lingering. Lucid, sharp, and crisp as spring water, this collection holds a sweeping narrative power that will stay with you long after the last line.

      2020., Adult, Bookland Press Call No: NEW FR IND 812.6 D924t    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Modern indigenous voices.Summary Note: Tarte à l'esquimaude : une poétique de l'identité inuit est la traduction française du recueil de poésie intitulé Eskimo pie : a poetics of Inuit identity. L'auteure y examine son expérience vécue d'Inuk urbaine née, élevée, et ayant toujours vécu dans une ville canadienne au sud du 60e parallèle nord. Ses écrits prennent en considération les nombreuses pratiques d'assimilation auxquelles les Inuit urbains sont sans cesse confrontés, ainsi que les attentes de la majorité dominante sur ce qu'un Inuk peut et doit faire ou être. À travers ses textes inclassables, elle exprime ce que c'est que de ressentir le constant rejet de ses écrits de la part de personnes non-inuit et comment elle trouve le courage de persévérer malgré tout, avec ce qu'elle tient pour vrai, démontrant ainsi l'importance de garder la tête haute et de rester au plus près de ses mots en tant que femme autochtone.

      2016., Editions la Peuplade Call No: QWF FR 841 N499t    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Attentive à ce qui est vivant, Chantal Neveu contemple librement les éléments natifs : montagnes, arbres, vent, diamants, quarks, gaz et terres, nuages, ciel et neige. L'eau de l'eau de l'eau. Elle convoque ce que nous sommes ensemble-mots et corps adjacents. Ce texte rayonne de tout son éclat, fait voir le monde intime et social au fil des révolutions et des printemps. Est-ce une idylle? Forme brève renversée, La vie radieuse appelle à la mobilisation des cœurs, inclut le hors-champ, invite à créer des concordances et, émancipée, vote ses propres lois en faveur d'une même humanité. C'est un état d'esprit : oublier un tant soit peu l'individu pour plus de mutualité, pour enfin être simplement _totalement être.
