Bestseller and Governor General’s Award–winner Katherena Vermette’s third collection presents a series of poems reaching into what it means to be at once a descendant and a future ancestor, exploring the connections we have with one another and ourselves, amongst friends, and within families and Nations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn frank, heartfelt poems that move through body sovereignty and ancestral dreams, and from ’80s childhood nostalgia to welcoming one’s own babies, Vermette unreels the story of a child, a parent, and soon, an elder, living in a prairie place that has always existed, though looks much different to her now. This book is about being one small part of a large genealogy. A lineage is a line, and the procession, whether in celebration or in mourning, is ongoing. \u003cem\u003eProcession\u003c\/em\u003e delves into what it means to make poems and to be an artist, to be born into a body, to carry it all, and, if you’re very lucky, age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebe a good ancestor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   be a good kid\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57303729701246,"sku":"NW9781487013523","price":13.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781487013523.jpg?v=1778569937","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/procession","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
