For over twenty years, John Brady McDonald's day job has been working with youth. Over half of that time was spent as a Frontline Youth Outreach Worker on the streets of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. During that time, John would write down his thoughts and feelings on scraps of paper and in little black hardcover notebooks, chronicling the struggles and traumas of the youth he worked with and which he himself had also experienced. Never being quite the right fit for his other poetry books, John took these poems and hid them away for years, until now. Recently rediscovered in his archives, John has compiled them, using a 54-year-old typewriter, into a work which gives voice to the experiences and resilience of those youth, along with his own experiences, thoughts and recollections of a poet in the midst of a turbulent moment in time amongst the concrete and asphalt of the city.

Il peint le portrait d'une petite fille, Tamam, qui rêve de retourner dans la maison qu'elle a quittée 75 ans plus tôt, lors de l'exode palestinien. Tamam découvre qu'elle a un don pour le dessin et utilise son imagination pour dessiner sa maison dans sa tête. Une nuit, elle décide de s'y rendre et y trouve une autre petite fille, qui ne lui permet pas d'entrer et lui ferme la porte au nez. Submergée de tristesse, Tamam s'assied dehors et commence à dessiner sa maison sur une feuille de papier. À mesure qu'elle dessine, elle voit les couleurs de la maison s'échapper et la suivre. L'autre fille essaie de faire revenir les couleurs, en vain. Incolore et terne, la maison ressemble alors aux ar bres en hiver, nus, désolés et quelconques. Quand Tamam s'en va, les lieux se couvrent de lilas.

This poetry collection examines the author's lived history as an Inuk who was born, raised and continues to live south of sixty. Her writing takes into account the many assimilative practices that Inuit continue to face and the expectations of mainstream as to what an Inuk person can and should be. Her words examine what it is like to feel the constant rejection of her work from non-Inuit people and how she must in some way find the spirit to carry through with what she holds to be true demonstrating the importance of standing tall and close to her words as an Indigenous woman.
