In this collection we discover poems that explore what it means to be a woman who must navigate the world from the duality of a mixed race background.<BR>Cara-Lyn Morgan joins those young Canadian poets who are driven by family experience to communicate with their pasts in order to inform their futures. Morgan?s complex cultural history that was generated from her Metis mother and her Afro-Caribbean father necessitates an exploration of their struggles as distinctive cultures. It also insists on understanding the connectivity of her ancestral, cultural roots and the disparate values that shaped her. By revisiting these people and their stories she intends to come to an understanding of how to navigate the world as a ?mixed-race? Canadian woman ? a process that remains incomplete.
