CanLit Guides
Today the BC Book Prizes announced their 2014 shortlist. Jordan Abel’s poetry collection The Place of Scraps, which we wrote about on CanLit Guides in the Indigenous Literatures in Canada resource, is among the finalists for the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize.
In the chapter Visual Poetry and Indigenous-Settler Issues: Shane Rhodes and Jordan Abel,
we compare The Place of Scraps to the visual poetry of Shane Rhodes to consider how the poets engage with assumptions about Indigenous-settler relations in the past and present.
Also check out our guide to Poetic Visuality and Experimentation
for help reading visual poetry.
