Description

Cara-Lyn Morgan comes from both Indigenous (Metis) and Immigrant (Trinidadian) roots in the place known as Turtle Island and Canada.

Motherhood, trauma, and familial history are woven together into a powerful collection.

Beginning with a revelation of familial sexual abuse, Building a Nest from the Bones of My People charts the impact of this revelation on the speaker. From the pain of estrangement to navigating first-time motherhood in the midst of a family crisis, Morgan explores the complexities of generational and secondary abuse, intertwined as they are with the impacts of colonization.

The Poetry in English Award Nominee. The 2024 Indigenous Voices Awards.
