Co-written by Cole Forrest and Kelsey Borgford, the poetry of Once the Smudge is Lit highlights the Indigenous experience in post-colonial times through explorations of themes ranging from love to community. Bogford's and Forrest's verses seek to open a multidimensional window into the experience of being a contemporary Nishaabe. A profound sense of movement, connection, and continuity is emphasized by Tessa Pizzale's beautifully evocative illustrations, which include a line of smudge smoke that flows from page to page from beginning to end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This book contains 50 illustrations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe First Nation Communities 2024-2025 READ Awards, \u003c\/span\u003eYoung Adult\/Adult Category \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShortlist.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kegedonce Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56394958340401,"sku":"zqv1789939240708","price":10.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/0925\/7009\/files\/once-the-smudge-is-lit_1.jpg?v=1789939245","url":"https:\/\/canistersealfit.shop\/products\/once-the-smudge-is-lit","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
