She admonishes humanity for its seeming lack of conscience in poems journeying from turmoil on the Gaza Strip to rapidly dissolving ice floes.</p><p>Cree poet <b>Wanda John-Kehewin</b> has studied criminology, sociology, Aboriginal studies, and creative writing while attending Simon Fraser University's The Writer's Studio writing program. She uses writing as a therapeutic medium for understanding and responding to the near decimation of Native culture, language, and tradition.</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Between the body & the utterance is the meaning.
