the sky woman has returned to bring down the patriarchy!

this book is about a poet who may or may not be going crazy, who is just trying to survive in winnipeg, where indigenous people, especially women, are being disappeared. she is talking to a crow who may or may not be a trickster, and who brings a very important message: sky woman has returned, and she is ready to take down the patriarchy.  

this is poetry, prose and dialogue about the rise and return of the matriarch. it’s a call to resistance, a manifesto to the female self. 

cree poet and broadcaster rosanna deerchild is an important voice for our time. her poems – angry, funny, sad – demand a new world for indigenous women.
