Awâsis

Published on 9 June 2023 at 17:15

by Louise Bernice Halfe (she/her)


Genre: poetry

 

Representation: Cree, genderfluid, queer, two-spirit 

 

Author Representation: Cree 

 

Content/Trigger Warning:

There are no pronouns in Cree for gender; awâsis (which means illuminated child) reveals herself through shapeshifting, adopting different genders, exploring the English language with merriment, and sharing his journey of mishaps with humor, mystery, and spirituality. Opening with a joyful and intimate Foreword from Elder Maria Campbell, awâsis – kinky and dishevelled is a force of Indigenous resurgence, resistance, and soul-healing laughter.
