Riguardo questo articolo

1st printing of the first edition of the poet's second collection SIGNED on the title page with a green ballpoint pen, DATED Mar/08, the YEAR of PUBLICATION, and inscribed to writer Daniel David Moses, who contributed the blurb printed on the back cover of the book. The dedication reads, "Daniel I can't thank you enough -- for your knowledge, your gentleness, your role as a mentor to so many love Sharron." The late Moses was a Canadian aboriginal poet and playwright, and this book is among a collection of books by Canadian poets obtained by this bookseller which are dedicated to him with sincere gratitude and admiration. At the time of listing, this was the only copy of the book signed or unsigned offered for sale on the site. A trade paper original with card covers. A tight, well-preserved copy. Slight wear to the back corner of the crown of the spine, and the top corner of the back cover is ever-so-slightly turned. Ghost of pencil erasure at top edge of the dedication page. Proulx-Turner's first book of poetry - what the auntys say (2002) - was a finalist for the League of Canadian Poets' Gerald Lampert Prize for best first book of poetry.

Riassunto

Sono umiliato dalle donne e dalle ragazze del mio mondo, e ringrazio il grande spirito per la loro presenza. mia nonna, germaine proulx-boyce, mi ha insegnato a ricamare, a lavorare con il nastro. Mi è stato detto che ho le sue mani, e le mani di Exilda Dufort-lafrance, la mia bis-bisnonna. Ho passato queste mani a mia figlia, Barb, e alle mie nipoti, Jessinia e Mazie. queste mie mani amano scrivere, e mi è stato detto che la mia bisnonna, Rosina lafrance-proulx, era una poetessa, che parlava agli alberi, alle piante e agli animali. e ora mi parla. più di quindici anni fa, la voce di Rosina nella mia, mi sono svegliata con le parole che sta leggendo la sua coperta con le mani, la nascita delle poesie in questo libro.
