Reviews

"Proves that poetry can tackle shared experiences across cultures and continents with great depth and poignancy."

—Lee Maracle:
“Powerful . . . triumphant and heartfelt.”

Jenna Butler, author of Magnetic North: Sea Voyage to Svalbard:
“David Groulx has a gift for creating community, for seeing and celebrating the threads that draw us together. From Turtle Island to Gaza finds commonality in the experiences of those who have been colonized, connecting Indigenous people in Canada with Palestinian people in acknowledgement of shared trauma, respect for the land, and celebration of resilience.”

Welalin aqq Numultes (Michelle Sylliboy), author of Kiskajeyi - I am Ready:
“Trauma has no boundaries, it does not discriminate. Groulx’s poetry is subliminal, a one-two punch to the gut and straight to the heart. A must-read.”

Joanne Arnott, author of A Night for the Lady and Halfling Spring:
“David Groulx is an important poetic voice. Intellectually and emotionally generous, his poetry both gives and demands presence, and a willingness to acknowledge reality and engage at a deeper level.”
