<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A mixed-race woman reflects on a life of hardship, triumph--contemplating ways in which bloodlines shaped her response to different circumstances.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Death, desire, and divination are the threads running through Jonina Kirton's debut collection of poems and lyric prose. Delicate and dark, the pieces are like whispers in the night - a haunted, quiet telling of truths the mind has locked away but the body remembers. Loosely autobiographical, these are the weavings of a wagon-goddess who ventures into the double-world existence as a mixed-race woman. In her struggle for footing in this in-between space, she moves from the disco days of trance dance to contemplations in her dream kitchen as a mother and wife. <p/>With this collection, Kirton adds her voice to the call for the kind of fierce honesty referred to by Muriel Rukeyser when she asked, <i>What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open</i>. Kirton tells her truth with gentleness and patience, splitting the world open one line at a time.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>A Métis / Icelandic poet, author, and workshop facilitator, Jonina Kirton is a graduate of Simon Fraser University's Writer's Studio program.
