Reviews

Praise for let us not think of them as barbarians:

"This book offers a necessary paean to an often-forgotten tragedy."
~ Catherine Owen, Canadian Literature

"These poems do double work: they challenge what we think we know about the relationship between history and the present and ask us to consider what else would be going on. The poems demand that we reflect on how we come to knowledge, especially that which is not hegemonic but is definitely central to another world."
~ Juliane Okot Bitek, author of 100 Days
