Description
Indigenous Poetics in Canada explores new ways to understand and discuss Indigenous poetry in Canada. This collection breaks away from traditional English literature studies by embracing a broader understanding of poetics, including Indigenous oralities, languages, and relationships with place. The book examines four key elements of Indigenous poetics: the power of memory, the importance of performance, the significance of place and space, and the healing potential of poetry. Through the work of academics and poets, it delves into these areas to provide a deeper understanding of Indigenous poetic consciousness and its role in storytelling. By considering both contemporary and classical Indigenous narratives, this volume sheds new light on the complexities of Indigenous poetics and its relevance in today's world.
