I really enjoyed this book. It was the first Indigenous narrative I've read in a while, and I felt gutted when I finished it. Personal favourites were "8" and "67". I'd highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a poetry book that deals with a whole host of themes in one early morning read.

I have been interested in reading more poetry, and when I read a sample of this collection online, I knew I had to read this book. Even though King writes his poetry from the perspective of an indigenous American (and I am a white person living in America), I strongly connected with his poetry. While I might not fully understand the deeper meaning of the poems about the Woman Who Fell From the Sky and the Coyote and the Turtle, I did connect with his critiques on our current capitalist society's many flaws and its flawed relationship with nature. I loved King's writing style. I also appreciated that all the poems in this collection felt like they cohesively worked together to create a work greater than the sum of its parts. I highly recommend this collection. As a novice poetry reader, I felt like this was very accessible and easy to comprehend while still conveying complex ideas.

These poems, strong alone, come together to paint a powerful picture.
