Thunder Song by Sasha taqʷšəblu LaPointe
emotional
reflective
medium-paced
5.0
Thanks to Counterpoint Press for the free copy of this book.
- I was a big fan of LaPointe’s previous book, RED PAINT, and THUNDER SONG is even better.
- LaPointe blends her personal story with larger observations of culture in a way that make the essays unmistakably hers: she has such a unique voice and strong point of view.
- As the book progresses the essays begin to show how each topic is deeply connected to the others in a way that can’t be untangled from the initial colonization of this country.
