Procession by Katherena Vermette – Book Review
“Come in
Take up the space
I have made for you”
-Katherena Vermette
Award-winning writer Katherena Vermette returns with a stunning collection of poetry, Procession. Her poetry explores the inter-generational connections every body shares with their ancestors and descendants, their younger self and future self, and within their communities. This collection also meditates on what a true blessing and honour it is to hold space in the world through our bodies, which contain both our past selves and our ancestry as well as our future selves and our lineage. Each of us contain so much history and meaning just as we are. We bring so much value to our communities and relationships; not just our humans ones but to our non-human kin and natural world too.
This is a deeply moving and empowering collection of poetry that I highly recommend checking out!
