Burning in This Midnight Dream

Description:

"With fearlessly wrought verse, Halfe describes how the experience of residential schools continues to haut those who survive, and how the effects pass like a virus from one generation to the next. She asks us to consider the damage done to children taken from their families, to families mourning their children; damage done to entire communities and to ancient cultures"--Back cover.
