emotional reflective medium-paced

4.5

Beautifully written mix of short stories and poetry in English and Anishinaabe. Will make you feel things. Will teach you things. 
Sadly I couldn’t find the accompanying album yet but will be trying to track it down! Love the concept of the duo.

I suppose I should rate this higher, it is amazing after all. However, poetry is not my thing so I didn't understand half of what I read. I read it for a university course where my class discussed many of the works and if anything it just confused me more. It's well worth a read, though, if you enjoy poetry and short verse. Especially if you want to educate yourself on Canadian/North American Aboriginal people's.
