North End Love Songs by Katherena Vermette

2.0

This is a tough book to rate. I thought the first half was okay, none of the poems standing out to me. Even now, I can't remember any of them. The second half was awesome in a tragic, beautifully written, emotional way that captured the plight and fight of Indigenous Canadians. The resistance to stereotypes, the tragedy of untimely death, the systemic violence of racism, sexism and classism.
