cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/44343977

Before the Usual Time is a short book (180 pages) that spans multiple indigenous cultures. I appreciated getting a taste of each of the authors' experiences and cultures, and the poems are approachable for those new to poetry. The stories are inventive and the writing is excellent. I'd highly recommend it!

Featuring writings from:

  • Leanna Marshall - Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug (Ontario)
  • Emma Petahtegoose - Atikameksheng Anishnawbek
  • Joan Naviuyuk Kane - Inupiaq
  • Ardelle Sagutcheway - Eabametoong (Ontario)
  • Craig Santos Perez - Chamorro Guahan (Guam)
  • Sherwin Bitsui - Diné of the Todich'ii'nii (Arizona)
  • Chuquai Billy - Lakota Sioux/Choctaw (New Mexico)
  • David Groulx - Ojibway (Ontario)
  • Sy Hoahwah - Comanche/Southern Arapaho
  • Cathy Smith - Mohawk
  • Dennis Saddleman - Coldwater Reserve
  • Craig Commanda - Kitigan Zibi
  • Emily Clarke - Cahuilla
