Stages of Tanning Words and Remembering Spells: Part 1: Scraping Lungs Like Hide

Tawahum Bige
$16.11 $18.95

In their second poetry collection, Tawahum Bige explores belonging and voice of a Two-Spirit Dene youth.

These poems are a stark plunge--an answer to how voice emerges for a young Two Spirit growing up in so-called "Surrey, BC," far from his Lutselk'e Dene territories. The fundamental thrum in which vocal cords produce sound to whisper, cry, holler and laugh--these inner workings are made corporeal through moments of growth from childhood to young adulthood to show how the seeds sprouted for someone who needed to learn to express to find their path.
