These visionary pieces build upon Simpson's powerful use of the fragment as a tool for intervention in her critically acclaimed collection \u003ci\u003eIslands of Decolonial Love\u003c\/i\u003e. Provocateur and poet, she continually rebirths a decolonized reality, one that circles in and out of time and resists dominant narratives or comfortable categorization. A crow watches over a deer addicted to road salt; Lake Ontario floods Toronto to remake the world while texting ARE THEY GETTING IT?; lovers visit the last remaining corner of the boreal forest; three comrades guerrilla-tap maples in an upper middle-class neighbourhood; and Kwe gets her firearms license in rural Ontario. Blending elements of Nishnaabeg storytelling, science fiction, contemporary realism, and the lyric voice, \u003ci\u003eThis Accident of Being Lost\u003c\/i\u003e burns with a quiet intensity, like a campfire in your backyard, challenging you to reconsider the world you thought you knew.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10747166\"\u003eLeanne Betasamosake Simpson\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Astoria\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487001278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487001274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE011000\"\u003eCanadian | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeanne Simpson\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of three books: \u003ci\u003eDancing on Our Turtle's Back\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Gift Is In the Making\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eIslands of Decolonial Love\u003c\/i\u003e, and the editor of \u003ci\u003eLighting the Eighth Fire\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThis Is An Honour Song\u003c\/i\u003e (with Kiera Ladner), and \u003ci\u003eThe Winter We Danced: Voice from the Past, the Future, and the Idle No More Movement\u003c\/i\u003e (Kino-nda-niimi collective).
