Book Your Stocking: Day 11
One of my favorite poets whose work often appears in Wake to Words and Brew Some Coffee is here to share today's book recommendation. Take note. Take many notes. Then find the book.
Please welcome back Ann Tweedy to this year's Book Your Stocking.
🕮
Recommendation: This Wound Is a World by Billy-Ray Belcourt
Why: These poems' exploration of colonialism and its effects on the speaker, viscerally in his body, are shattering, and yet the poems are filled with tenderness for his kookum (grandmother), his lovers, and himself.
🕮
