When a Two-Spirit Indigenous person returnshome, they begin to understand the world through their relationships to others. Meditating on the difficulty of belonging, especially when shaped by both colonial and communal wounds, Pennock lets spectral inheritances speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough lyrical, found, and experimental forms, Pennock excavates what - and who - is remembered, grieved, and built upon in the violent memoryscapes of the prairies. Here, haunting is methodology: ghosts are kin, time loops, and memory scratches at the walls.For readers of Billy-Ray Belcourt and Jeanette Armstrong, \u003cem\u003eSkin\u003c\/em\u003e conjures. It listens. It offers poetry as a kind of skin - porous, protective, remembering - for those still finding their way home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTyler Pennock\u003c\/b\u003e is a two-spirit adoptee from a Cree and Métis family around the Lesser Slave Lake region of Alberta, and is a member of Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation.
