The author of Prairie Edge has now written a short Metis poetic novella. The are alternating poetic verses/pages of four Indigenous voices, two women (Baby Momma, Aunty Prof) and two men (Buddy, Fancy University Boy). A dominant theme is the constraints imposed on Metis people from institutional whiteness, class and even delusions of grandeur. The writing is funny and heartfelt, with an uncompromising focus.
Note from Amy: I read this too, and fell deeply in love with the complications of life, and the way that Conor Kerr wrote his short poetic prose
