{"product_id":"9781772012125","title":"Treaty 6 Deixis","description":"How might poetic practices undermine racist ideologies and colonialism, engendering ecological attentiveness, and anomalous and compassionate communities? Christine Stewart’s \u003ci\u003eTreaty 6 Deixis\u003c\/i\u003e takes up these timely and pressing questions as it investigates what it means to be a non-Indigenous inhabitant of Canada’s Treaty 6 territory, “in this city, on this land, in this country, on this planet, in a way that acknowledges and honours all my obligations and all my relations, the complex web of connective tissues that keep me here.” \u003ci\u003e(Deixis\u003c\/i\u003e is a word or phrase – like “this,” “that,” “ now,” “then” – that points to the time, place, or situation in which a speaker is speaking or a writer is writing.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten beside the \u003ci\u003ekisiskâciwani-sîpiy\u003c\/i\u003e (North Saskatchewan River) on Treaty 6 land – which encompasses most of the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan – this gorgeous long poem reinstates and re-sounds the extent of the author’s obligations, considering the ways in which language can be formally and contextually engaged to refigure and potentially re-articulate the world. \u003ci\u003eTreaty 6 Deixis\u003c\/i\u003e, Stewart’s long-anticipated first solo trade collection, is an exemplary, ethically engaged, and much-needed exploration, and a step towards reconciliation.","brand":"Talonbooks, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47056738550000,"sku":"9781772012125","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781772012125_p0.jpg?v=1763708836","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781772012125","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
