'It is freeing and glorious to see these expressions of unbridled sexuality, vulnerability and invincible spirit in print from First Nations poets… As you read, you will be struck by the boldness of the writers’ audacious self-love, and the deep reverence and restorative love contained within the work for themselves and each other.' — Arlie Alizzi
