Description
Slow Scrape brilliantly enacts a poetics of relation and action to counter the settler colonial violences of erasure, extraction, and dispossession. Drawing on documentary poetics, concrete-based installations, event scores, and other texts, the book cites memory, Cree and Alutiiq languages, and embodiment as modes of relational being and knowing. This collection presents an expansive and undulating meditation on time, relations, origin, and colonization. The author's work draws on a range of sources to explore the complexities of Indigenous experience in Turtle Island. The book includes an introduction by Layli Long Soldier, as well as a dialogue between the author and editor Michael Nardone.
