This poem came into being on March 6, 2014 after I attended the Toronto FAC (Feminist Art Conference) spoken word and art gallery opening. I was inspired by the powerful women I heard share and I came home and wrote it. I would have posted it sooner but it took me time to figure out how to record it as this is my first ever recording. I went again to TO FAC March 8 and was further inspired to speak my truth. So here it is and a painting I did called Crime Scene - Primal Scream. #MMIW #StolenSisters #VAW #IndianResSchool #INM #IdleNoMore #ItEndsHere  ***Pls turn up to hear it and then turn down at end so next track isn't too loud. I had to keep sound down to cut down on background noise.***

Emergents 01 - Part 1

learning garageband so here's my first recording - a bit rough but you get the gist. poem I wrote some time back.

bison of my longing poetry - spoken word

soundscape I created with spoken word poetry

these shadows speak to me
of places thought that'll never be
the spaces in between
of what may still come to be seen
the jigsaw of mind
the will to find
even when all feels lost
and thoughts run to ice and to frost
the embers smoulder dimly in pain
they may yet burn bright again
