Summary
:
If poetry is a place to question, I Am a Body of Land by Shannon Webb-Campbell is an attempt to explore a relationship to poetic responsibility and accountability, and frame poetry as a form of re-visioning. Here Webb-Campbell revisits the text of her earlier work Who Took My Sister? to examine her self, her place and her own poetic strategies. These poems are efforts to decolonize, unlearn, and undo harm. Reconsidering individual poems and letters, Webb-Campbell's confessional writing circles back, and challenges what it means ask questions of her own settler-Indigenous identity, belonging, and attempts to cry out for community, and call in with love. Edited for the press, and with an introduction by Lee Maracle; includes an an afterword by the author.
