~ Author of Fireweed (Kegedonce Press) and Indigenous activist Tunchai Redvers whose national youth-led organization We Matter support Indigenous youth around mental health chatted with us about how her activism informs her poetry: “My identity as a queer Indigenous womxn is inherently political, therefore all of my writing […] is inherently political and radical.” ~ We wrapped up our July #ALUbookclub, but not before we shared four great follow-up reads to keep the short story times rolling post Echolocation (NeWest Press). ~ Protecting your books (babies) is important so we offer a Do-Lit-Yourself for keeping ’em safe: book sleeves!~ We recommend three books for #fridayreads: from love knots to revenge plots, we’ve got three picks to pack your totes with.
