Inconvenient skin = Nyêhtâwan wasakay / Shane L. Koyczan.
"Reconciliation has become a contested buzz word filled with promises and good intentions but rarely any meaningful follow through. While Canada's history is filled with darkness, this collection of poems aims to unpack that history to clean the wounds of the infection so the nation can finally heal. Powerful and thought provoking this collection will draw you in as you consider Canada's colonial legacy."
