<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Named after a local word meaning "soaked through" or "weighed down," Scotiabank Giller Prize finalist Megan Gail Coles's debut poetry collection, </strong><strong><em>Satched</em></strong><strong>, </strong><strong><em> </em></strong><strong>is a vivid portrait of intergenerational trauma, ecological grief, and late-stage capitalism from the perspective of a woman of rural-remote, Northern, working class, mixed ancestry. </strong></p><p>Honest, penetrating, and often darkly comic, these poems explore the extraordinary will it requires to stay alive in the face of economic precariousness, growing inequality, and prevailing dissatisfaction. With a fierce dedication to place, the collection explores the conflict inherent to individualistic priorities and collective needs present in a hyper-commodified Newfoundland and Labrador. <em>Satched</em> demands compassionate advocacy for all as it<em> </em>resolutely strives for clarity and acceptance while celebrating the momentary glimpses of joy in the path toward shared values and resilience. </p>
