These I the books, etc. I bought at Possible Futures Bookstore. “Remember” is the poem that was on the final wall of the art exhibit we saw Sunday: (Un) Settled The Landscape in American Art. It‘s such a beautiful poem that I had to buy the children‘s book -the illustrations are gorgeous. #Resistance

My current book puts me back in Canada this Monday. A difficult memoir to read because the author has suffered so much pain and violence.
pick#roll100 plus book club read for this month. Really enjoyed this - although some pretty harrowing sections about Covid/Floyd George which made for difficult (but important) reading. I‘m looking forward to discussing this one!
Plus, first time I‘ve come across a dog in a book with the same name as mine!
pickOh my, I love this book. “Indigenous wisdom, scientific knowledge, and the teachings of plants”. Written skillfully and beautifully. I believe one of our direst problems (and there are so many 😩) is our loss of connection to the earth.
So @Allyneedsbooks and I are visiting the hometown of on of our very best friends. On a walk, she pointed out a neighbor‘s house, a ‘botanist at a college who spends her summers up here.‘ Y‘all, it‘s the author of Braiding Sweetgrass and The Serviceberry! I can‘t believe it!
pickPart of the University of Alberta lecture series, this slim volume sees Eden Robinson exploring a bit of her family and Haisla heritage. Unsurprisingly, her prose is magnetic and I was drawn right in. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer.
pickReally enjoyed this book. Very different from what I normally read. The gators are in Savannah.
pickDarcie Little Badger again showcases her wonderful storytelling skills in this sad, hopeful, love-filled, and painful tale. It features Nina, a Lipan Apache teenage girl and Oli, a cottonmouth boy from the Reflecting World. It beautifully tells the story of how their lives connect in an effort to save Oli‘s friend, Ami, a toad whose Earth-equivalent species is facing extinction on Earth. #bookblanket
