Questions I Asked My Mother
Questions I Asked My Mother | Di Brandt
1 post | 1 to read
questions I asked my mother is a seminal work of both Canadian and Mennonite literature. Included in this new edition, poet and scholar Tanis MacDonald reflects on the the impact of Di Brandt's poetry undercuts centuries of patriarchal culture. Powerful and lyrical, filled with humour and intelligence, [Brandt's] language enfolds desire and hate, birth and death, mother and child. "You can feel the warmth of the poets breath, sometimes gasping, sometimes singing, always affirming life itself. Read these poems. They will take your breath away." --Magdalene Redekop

Today‘s kitty tether time is all about poetry with that WOW factor. QUESTIONS I ASKED MY MOTHER is a powerful entry in the prairie Mennonite literary canon. Brandt‘s questions aren‘t just for her mother; they‘re for the whole world, with an emphasis on how people perform their faith and how femininity manifests within her childhood community.
