Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. A Near Fine copy with minimal shelfwear and an uncreased spine. // ' Chaos Inside Thunderstorms draws the audience into the centre of the tumultuous political, socio/economical and historical reality of the First Nations experience in Canada today. It is poetic expression that examines leadership, resilience, honour, shame, and love. It examines the issues implicit in the Idle No More Movement and the Truth and Reconciliation conferences. Although the book speaks of age-old themes, it explores them through fresh modern eyes. Eloquent and witty, these poems are power-packed with imagery that uncovers the raw politics of race. There is nothing polite about them. Like his two previous collections of poems, Chaos Inside Thunderstorms is candid and challenging. More importantly, it is thought-provoking and engaging.' -- publisher.…

Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. First Edition, stated Third Printing. A Near Fine copy with minimal shelfwear and an uncreased spine. // From the publisher: 'In Skin Like Mine, Garry Gottfriedson offers a suite of poems that peel away the skin of contemporary first nations society to reveal an inside view of individual experience. Gottfriedson speaks of 'minds full of anticipation' yet with 'tongues pointing arrowheads.' Today's youth, he says, are 'afraid of themselves.' He finds that both individuals and bands end in 'tangles,' that they write 'nonsense words in the sand' or exploit images painted on rocks, those 'the postmodern Indian calls / visual poetic expression.' As the collection continues, however, Gottfriedson's love for the land emerges. He draws attention to the rape of the natural environment, the skin of Mother Earth, through clear-cut logging. He speaks of the damage caused by the pine beetle, of 'forests being / eaten from the inside out.' And here it is that Gottfriedson introduces the mysterious Horsechild, who is to prepare the drying racks for the returning salmon 'so that beneath your skin / the mountains will be forever abundant': a prayer for us to protect the migrating salmon on their multi-year cycles, to protect the bears and eagles that feast upon them, so as to assure that the transformations will continue, that there will be abundance for both humans and the earth itself.'.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Secwe pemc term le estcwicwe y? (the missing) was given by Secwe pemc elders who dedicated their knowledge and time to guide the community through the hell they were forced to endure in May 2021. Garry Gottfriedson's The Flesh of Ice picks up the thread of his 2021 collection, Bent Back Tongue, describing the history and relationship of Indigenous people in Canada with the Canadian government and the Catholic church. Here is the story of those who survived Kamloops Indian Residential School (KIRS), and stories of descendants of KIRS who remembered "the missing" in the wake of the discovery of unmarked graves at the KIRS. Here, in hauntingly visceral poems, are the living conditions, policies and practices of the school itself, the stories of those who lived there, and the names of practitioners of the school, called out and cursed. Lastly, personal stories are given space to reclaim the narrative, taking readers on a journey of resilience, survival, pain and joy.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. BENT BACK TONGUE is a raw examination of love, identity, politics, masculinity, and vulnerability. Through sharp honesty and revealing satire, Gottfriedson delves into Canadian colonialism and the religious political paradigms shaping experiences of a Secwepemc First Nations man. This is a book that tears through deceptions that both Canada and the church impose on their citizens. Gottfriedson tackles the darkest layers of a shared colonial history; at the same time, the poems in Bent Back Tongue are a celebration of love, land, family, and the self.
