Description

Duncan Mercredi is a Cree and Métis poet from Winnipeg. Duncan Mercredi was Winnipeg's Poet Laureate in 2021. In 2021, he won the Manitowapow Award at the Manitoba Book Awards.

In this frank, raw, and honest collection the poet chases down the river of who he is. Each bend, each stone, every waterfall, a sharing of self. Then the writings can be rolled up and when the time comes, the time that he leaves the place he calls home, they will be placed on the sacred fire. To return to where they came from.

You are invited to walk with the author during intimate reflection and pause to remember the people who have been a part of his life and journey, the ones who influenced him, both good and bad. The paths taken, the roads travelled that led him to this city. As the wick burns the last of its wax we recognize its existence as the scent of smoke still remains long after the light goes out.
