Poem, Red Phesant / Man in Black
Poem part 2.
Book Cover: All Wrong Horses on Fire that Go Away in the Rain by Sarain Frank Soonias. The background is blue-grey with white diagonal raindrops running from the top right, then turning into red flames at the bottom. The title and author name are hand-written at a matching angle.
On this day of Truth and Reconciliation we remember children stolen from families, survivors of residential schools, and all survivors of the genocide waged against the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island.
This poem, from Sarain Frank Soonias's debut collection feels particularly apt today. 🧡 🧡
This is a brilliant poetry collection. Hope to see you at Jide’s launch!
