North End Love Songs - Vermette, Katherena

As New; Award sticker on ffep and front cover; For Katherena Vermette, Winnipeg's North End is a neighbourhood of colourful birds, stately elms, and always wily rivers. It is where a brother's disappearance is trivialized by local media and police because he is young and aboriginal. It is also where young girls share secrets, movies, cigarette, Big Gulps and stories of love - where a young mother full of both maternal trepidation and joy watches her small daughters play in the park. From a mixed-blood Métis woman with Mennonite roots, Kate weaves her poetry in a way that winds its way through the North End of Winnipeg.
