A Beautifully Written Poetry Book

A book filled with poems about mother earth, life, struggles, and everything in between. I am an avid poetry lover, and once I got word that PEI's Poet Laureate had a book that recently came out, I just had to get my hands on it.

This book was incredibly well written. Almost every poem had a piece of art beautifully crafted to go with it, and every piece of art and poem pair that I read went hand in hand.

Julie is a skilled writer. There's a reason she was PEI's Poet Laureate! This book touched on many difficult topics, but it also touched on many magnificent topics. She talked about being raised and learning the history of the Mi'kmaq. She talked about nature and its beauty. She touched so many important topics, and so many aspects of PEI and Mi'kmaq history. This book was incredibly enriching. If you happened to have read her other book, My Mi'kmaq Mother, I whole heartedly believe you should read this one too.

I recommend this book.
