"At the threshold
of melancholy
is a voice barely heard

a light wrapped in fog
and a piece of steel
longing for flint.

Strike it."
--"Fire Strike," Margaret Noodin (Ojibwe original and English translation)

This listicle poem reads like a biblical verse. The word “remember” calls us out of the prison of the present (which sometimes feels like heaven!) and into a deeper sense of belonging.

The title poem from What Shade of Brown?, the debut poetry collection from Nehiyawak-Métis poet @johnbradymcd.bsky.social, tackles issues of identity and belonging with incisive clarity. @radiantpress.bsky.social #indigenouspoetry #poetryreview #indigenousauthors

This poem is an ode to our shared human predicament—both lowly and holy. May we bear it together with relish and reverence.

Pictured here: Uiesh / Somewhere by Joséphine Bacon and translated by Jessica Moore looking so snazzy wearing its new #GGBooks sticker! 🤩⁠

Against a backdrop of cedar, a hand holds up Uiesh / Somewhere by Joséphine Bacon, translated by Jessica Moore. A big sticker is above the mid line to the right declaring it to be a GGBooks Winner. The cover is of a painted treescape reflecting into water, but the reflection is a city. Across the top it reads "Uiesh / Somewhere. Poems." Across the middle it reads Dual-Language Edition in Innu-aimun and English. Across the bottom it reads "Joséphine Bacon. Translated from the French by Jessica Moore."
