{"product_id":"miskwagoode","title":"Miskwagoode","description":"Miskwagoode is a book of poems by Annharte (Marie Baker) who is Anishinaabe, Little Saskatchewan First Nation, Manitoba. Taken from the Anishinaabe word for “woman,” Miskwagoode is a lyrical portrayal of unreconciled Indigenous experience under colonialism, past and present.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnnharte is Miskwa, and so is Annharte's mother, who disappeared when the author was a girl. Miskwagoode is Annharte's book about her mother loss, her “mothermiss,” about all the women “buried in common enough\/ cross-generational graves.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLaced with humour and resilience but also hard-earned wisdom (“ominous progress ahead”), Annharte's fifth collection encompasses the poet's experiences as an Anishinaabe Elder, now experiencing the still-endemic inequalities of persisting colonialism, “witness not survivor.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn her sly, cheeky riffs on life behind the “buckskin curtain” at the margins of settler society, Annharte talks about granny circles, horny old guys, and getting your hair done — the belonging her community offers. But she sets these poems about rez life against the background radiation: the poverty and the sickness, despair, violence, sexism, and sexual abuse that flow from unequal relationships.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMiskwagoode concludes with “Wabang,” a suite of short poems comprising Annharte's own thumbnail transcontinental Indigenous mythology.","brand":"New Star Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49921907884260,"sku":"ngn1789929406367","price":7.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0818\/6036\/2468\/files\/miskwagoode_1.jpg?v=1789929410","url":"https:\/\/suspenderclipn.shop\/products\/miskwagoode","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
