SUMMARY:Indigenous Spirituality in Poetry
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Louise Bernice Halfe (Sky Dancer) will read a selection of her work and discuss the ways in which spirituality operates in her own writing as well as how it manifests in Indigenous poetry more generally. \nHalfe’s first published poetry appeared in Writing the Circle: Women of Western Canada. She has since published four collections: Bear Bones & Feathers (1994\, winner of the Canadian People’s Poet Award and finalist for the Spirit of Saskatchewan Award)\, Blue Marrow (1998\, finalist for the Governor General’s Award for Poetry\, Pat Lowther Award\, and Saskatchewan Book of the Year Award)\, The Crooked Good (2007) and her most recent collection Burning in this Midnight Dream (2016\, winner of three Saskatchewan Book Awards and the League of Canadian Poets Raymond Souster Award). \nIn September 2020\, she received the 2020 Cheryl and Henry Kloppenburg Award for Literary Excellence. \nThis event is part of the Spirituality as Land\, Story and Relation series presented by the Department of Theological Studies with the support of the Faculty of Arts and Science.

SUMMARY:Librairie D+Q presents Leanne Betasamosake Simpson launching Noopiming
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the virtual launch of Leanne Betasamosake Simpson‘s new book Noopiming: The Cure for White Ladies. \nWhere and How Can I purchase the books? Why our webstore of course… We ship Canada-wide!\nhttp://mtl.drawnandquarterly.com/webstore \nBy purchasing your book at Librairie Drawn & Quarterly you help support events like this one\, independent publishing and retailing\, our neighborhood\, and authors both local and from around the world who depend on independent bookstores for their livelihood. Your support is appreciated. \nNOOPIMING: THE CURE FOR WHITE LADIES\nAward-winning Nishnaabeg storyteller and writer Leanne Betasamosake Simpson returns with a bold reimagination of the novel\, one that combines narrative and poetic fragments through a careful and fierce reclamation of Anishinaabe aesthetics. \nMashkawaji (they/them) lies frozen in the ice\, remembering a long-ago time of hopeless connection and now finding freedom and solace in isolated suspension. They introduce us to the seven main characters: Akiwenzii\, the old man who represents the narrator’s will; Ninaatig\, the maple tree who represents their lungs; Mindimooyenh\, the old woman who represents their conscience; Sabe\, the giant who represents their marrow; Adik\, the caribou who represents their nervous system; Asin\, the human who represents their eyes and ears; and Lucy\, the human who represents their brain. Each attempts to commune with the unnatural urban-settler world\, a world of SpongeBob Band-Aids\, Ziploc baggies\, Fjällräven Kånken backpacks\, and coffee mugs emblazoned with institutional logos. And each searches out the natural world\, only to discover those pockets that still exist are owned\, contained\, counted\, and consumed. \nCut off from nature\, the characters are cut off from their natural selves. Noopiming is Anishinaabemowin for “in the bush\,” and the title is a response to English Canadian settler and author Susanna Moodie’s 1852 memoir Roughing It in the Bush. To read Simpson’s work is an act of decolonization\, degentrification\, and willful resistance to the perpetuation and dissemination of centuries-old colonial myth-making. It is a lived experience. It is a breaking open of the self to a world alive with people\, animals\, ancestors\, and spirits\, who are all busy with the daily labours of healing — healing not only themselves\, but their individual pieces of the network\, of the web that connects them all together. \nEnter and be changed.
