Lunar Tides
- 2022 INDIES Finalist
- Finalist, Poetry (General)
These poems explore connections between love, grief and water, structured within the lunar calendar. They follow rhythms of the body, the tides, the moon, and deep familial relationships that are both personal and ancestral. Originating from the poet's grief of losing her mother, "Lunar Tides" charts the arc to finding her again in the waves. Written from a mixed Mi’kmaq/settler perspective, this work also explores the legacies of colonialism, kinship and Indigenous resurgence.
