Book Reviews

This imaginative book is what would happen if we gave pen and paper to the deepest most secretive parts of ourselves. Down to the fibres, down to each breath, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson dares not only to explore the humanity of a character, but the humanity of the parts that make us whole, in a world running on empty- Catherine Hernandez
