Before the Usual Time is a short book (180 pages) that spans multiple indigenous cultures. I appreciated getting a taste of each of the authors' experiences and cultures, and the poems are approachable for those new to poetry. The stories are inventive and the writing is excellent. I'd highly recommend it!

  • Leanna Marshall - Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug (Ontario)
  • Emma Petahtegoose - Atikameksheng Anishnawbek
