Title: Totem Poles and Railroads
Description: "Totem Poles and Railroads succinctly defines the 500-year-old relationship between Indigenous nations and the corporation of Canada. In this, her fifth poetry collection, Janet Rogers expands on that defnition with a playful, culturally powerful and, at times, experimental voice. She pays honour to her poetic characters -- real and imagined, historical and present day -- from Sacajawea to Nina Simone. Placing poetry at the centre of our current post-residential school/present-day reconciliation reality, Rogers' poems are expansive and intimate, challenging, thought-provoking, and always personal."--Back cover.
