Severalty begins in a garden and moves through ancestral and contemporary hometowns that shimmer between wholeness and severing. In these poems, river currents tick with the intrusion of the clock's lavish precincts. From powerfully compressed lyrical fragments to pulsing narrative sequences,
Severalty shifts perspectives to examine devastation and healing, transience and seasonality, loss and resurrection.
With clear roots in her first two books of poetry,
Tributaries and
Instruments of the True Measure, this volume joins the author's poetic trilogy with a deeply personal accounting of history, community, and selfhood.
Weaving the past and present into a stunning tapestry, this collection is a powerful testament to Indigenous endurance and creativity, offering readers a deeply insightful and necessary work.
