Tapa Talk


Book Description

When you cut x-rays They utter a peculiar cry But starfish split silently Make more of themselves To fill up empty spaces Something the lonely could do This collection of poetry explores the separation of and connections between people, places, and cultures. There are transformations from bark to cloth and plants to dyes, from limited views to wider understandings, and from being lonely to loved. The poems fill the senses with vivid colours, intense and languid heat, sinuous and silky textures, heady tropical scents and rhythms of tapa being pounded and voices 'rolling like marbles unevenly across the table'.

Paper Talk


Book Description

The pre-1960 history of print culture and libraries, as they relate to the First Peoples of Canada, has gone largely untold. Paper Talk explores the relationship between the introduction of western print culture to Aboriginal peoples by missionaries, the development of libraries in the Indian schools in the nineteenth century, and the establishment of community-accessible collections in the twentieth century. While missionaries and the Department of Indian Affairs envisioned books and libraries as assimilative and "civilizing" tools, Edwards shows that some Aboriginal peoples articulated western ideas of print culture, literacy, books, and libraries as tools to assist their own cultural, social, and political aspirations. This text also serves to illustrate that the contemporary struggle of Aboriginal peoples in Canada to establish libraries in communities has a historical basis and that many of the obstacles faced today are remarkably similar to those encountered by earlier generations.
