Description

She is based in Ottawa, and is the first female and youngest director of Ottawa’s Urban Legends Poetry Collective (ULPC). According to Medcalf, Hermès – billed as the lowest performer – received their rating because they “use the largest array of animal products in our entire sample of 111 brands” and for “their use of products made from wildlife who have been farmed”. Also, really growing up inside, doesn’t come with age, it comes with our willingness and conscious effort to grow. Instead, they move towards capturing the grave reality of marginalized existence with precision and care.

Not only have I read less of it, but it's been months since I truly, deeply loved the poetry I was reading. As seen in the poem “00088614,” simpson repeats the numbers over and over again to address the trauma of just being a number.The four sections of this book pull your emotions in different and deliberate ways, ruminating on queer Indigenous love, kinship, and loss with a lyricism that seems to leave the page and live, forever, in your gut.

One of my favourite aspects of it was never going to be okay was simpson’s references to pop culture.

But now that I’m here, it’s just not enough and I’m still not happy and I don’t think I ever will be. Farms, which are at the start of the process, must be made accountable to how their animals, whether farmed-on-demand or a by-product, are being treated.

There’s a movement from the start of the collection to the end, showing an attention to self-care and self-love. The difficult decision will then be whether or not to let your family know or simply to take that step on your own.The care and craft that went into writing the poems, and then publishing, makes for a strong, powerful read. The speaker feels that others only accept their flaws once they’ve softened into something malleable, easier to control. We're an inclusive, disability-oriented peer support group for people with ADHD with an emphasis on science-backed information. In their poem “this woman //nookum,” simpson speaks about the disproportionate number of two-spirit cousins of theirs who have passed away.

The systemic issues of the foster-care system carry into and intersect with many other poems, such as “boy. poems written after florence + the machine songs, a band which i love to bits, and greek mythology references. They do a remarkable job at depicting the range in perspectives of queer identity and experience and writing about this, and their other experiences and identities, with grace and tact.We stand in solidarity today and every day, honouring and holding space for the Indigenous Peoples of the territories we are privileged to inhabit across Turtle Island. If you can explore the narrative, perhaps you can identify where that belief system came from, identify the flaws and distortion in your thought process and find a way to reframe the narrative so that you can be a friend to yourself instead of a critic.
