Summary
:
Taken from the Anishinaabe word for "woman," Miskwagoode is a lyrical portrayal of unreconciled Indigenous experience under colonialism, past and present. Annharte is Miskwa, and so is Annharte's mother, who disappeared when the author was a girl. Miskwagoode is Annharte's book about her mother loss, her "mothermiss," about all the women "buried in common enough/ cross-generational graves." Laced with humour and resilience but also hard-earned wisdom ("ominous progress ahead"), Annharte's fifth collection encompasses the poet's experiences as an Anishinaabe Elder, now experiencing the still-endemic inequalities of persisting colonialism, "witness not survivor."
