SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2023 INDIGENOUS VOICES AWARD
The poems in Trailer Park Shakes are direct and vernacular, rooted in community--a working-class Métis voice rarely heard from.
These poems, while dreamlike and playful, bear unflinching witness to the workings of injustice--how violence is channeled through institutions and refracted intimately between people, becoming intertwined with the full range of human experience, including care and love. Trailer Park Shakes is a book that seems to want to hold everything--an entire cross-section of lived experience--written by a poet whose courage, attention, and capacity to trace contradiction inspire trust in her words' embrace. Dion-Glowa's poems are quietly philosophical, with a heartfelt, self-possessed politic.
Dion-Glowa's voice crackles with frank, startling insight.--Sachiko Murakami, author of Render
A collection that should and will rattle your cage and shine a light where it is needed.--John Brady McDonald, author of Kitotam
