Kiyâm: Poems

By Naomi McIlwraith

Through poems that move between the two languages, McIlwraith explores the beauty of the intersection between nêhiyawêwin , the Plains Cree language, and English, 'kay'sîmowin . Written to honour her father's facility in nêhiyawêwin and her mother's beauty and generosity as an inheritor of Cree, Ojibwe, Scottish, and English, kiy'm articulates a powerful yearning for family, history, peace, and love.
