A life laminated by tragic experience does not seem to stop Taniqua from embarking on the arduous task of undoing past mistakes. Her life has been smeared with unprecedented circumstances in a purlieu that seems to shut the downtrodden in isolation even in a big city like Toronto. If you are like Taniqua, it would be easier to throw in the towel than to be combative in a situation that seems determined to keep her impoverished and friends that seemingly do not support her and who dont have the same optics. Yet the death of a child coupled with regrets couldnt prevent her from pursuing her dreams.

Fireweed is a collection of poetry that explores the rawness, trauma, and realities of adolescence compounded with the experience of being a young, Indigenous, and two-spirit intergenerational residential school survivor. Rooted in the symbolism and growth of fireweed, a flower native to the northwest of Canada, this collection takes readers through the hurt, healing, love, and spreading that encompassed the first 23 years of the author's attempt to find truth, safety and connection. Grounded in the simplicity of words and the illustration of the north, this book is a powerful window into the process of finding oneself while reclaiming culture and identity.

This bilingual collection brings together renowned Chilean poet Oscar Hahn's two most recent works, Apariciones profanas (2002; translated here as Profane Apparitions), and En un abrir y cerrar de ojos, the winner of Spain's Casa de America Award (2006; translated here as In the Blink of an Eye) in one stunning volume. Hahn's work has been hailed by Mario Vargas Llosa as "magnificent and truly original... the most personal I've read in the poetry of our language in a long time." And in Ashes in Love, Hahn beautifully affirms his reputation as the premier poet of his generation. In these outstanding poems, Hahn displays an uncompromising intelligence and strength, blending horror and humor with droll inventiveness. A sly craftsman, Hahn has assimilated poetic tradition, but is not a slave to it: he employs a wide range of poetic techniques, opening himself to the possibilities of mystery, song, and story.
