To understand Marilyn Dumont's work is to understand Métis culture and history, that of a people who originated in the 17thth century upon the meeting of the First Nations and the newcomers, the European voyageurs and cartographers who travelled along the great waterways of Turtle Island\/ North America. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow does a Métis poet write about a country where its politicians and bureaucrats are honoured as national figures when they made family fortunes from confiscated Métis and First Nations lands? For Dumont, the answer to this question resides in telling the truth, about the present and the past. Through carefully crafted poems, Dumont takes the reader through a range of personal and historically connected experiences grounded in emotional truth. For Dumont, perception, like memory, is as much about the body as it is the mind, surfacing as visionary insight, which has become the hallmark of her poetry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eReclamation and Resurgence \u003c\/i\u003econtains poems selected from \u003ci\u003eA Really Good Brown Girl, green girl dreams Mountains, from that tongued belonging\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Pemmican Eaters\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as previously uncollected poems, and includes an introduction by Armand Garnet Ruffo and an afterword, \"Contradictory Co-existence,\" by Marilyn Dumont.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarilyn Dumont is a Metis writer who was born and raised on Metis Road Allowance in small town Alberta.
