Inhabit Media, paperback Publication Date: June 11, 2024 Translated by: Jaypeetee Arnakak Publisher Marketing: In this complex, at times dark, poetry collection from Inuk author Ja mesie Fournier, readers are taken through the recesses of a character struggling with inner demons whispering into his mind. As he attempts to overcome his inner turmoil within a Colonial and contemporary system that oppresses him, the speaker guides readers through verse both ethereal and imagistic. Echoing artists as varied as Margaret Laurence and The Velvet Underground, this sweeping collection of bilingual verse deals with erasure, resilience, and--above all--resistance through the voice of one complex protagonist.
