Cancelled: I Am a Body of Land

In I Am a Body of Land, Shannon Webb-Campbell barges into her own text Who Took My Sister?, and interrogates her self, place and contemporary poetic strategies in efforts to decolonize, unlearn, and undo harm.

A NOTE FROM Jay MillAr, co-publisher:
It is with regret that I write to inform you that I Am a Body of Land by Shannon Webb-Campbell will not be available in time for her event at the Ottawa Writers Festival. Shannon and her editor have been working carefully together on the book, and the sensitive work required is taking longer than we anticipated. Shannon's appearance on October 27 will need to be cancelled. Our apologies to your audiences for our optimism regarding the timeline for the book, but it simply requires more time. 
 
FULL REFUNDS ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE POINT OF PURCHASE.
