A review by ashleyeppreads
River Woman by Katherena Vermette
5.0
truth is a seed
planted deep
if you want to get it
you have to dig
This poetry combined self-love, environmentalism and reconciliation seamlessly. It was raw and passionate but also calming. Imagery used was incredible and I felt proud of my prairies as she described them. This balance is flawless throughout the poetry and I find myself re-reading often to see what details I missed, connections I didn't see and taking an opportunity to deeper explore her unique perspective. This is a pivotal poetry collection that talks about our past, present and future as told by a Metis woman. A must read!
