    About this ebook

    Winner of RBC Bronwen Wallace Award for Emerging Writers
    Winner of CBC Poetry Prize
    Shortlisted for the 2020 Gerald Lampert Memorial Award
    Longlisted for the 2020 Pat Lowther Memorial Award

    From hybrid bodies to shifting landscapes, Re-Origin of Species blurs the lines of the real. These poems journey through illness and altered states to position disability and madness as evolutionary traits; skilled adaptations aligned with ecological change.

    A lyric contemplation of our relationship to the environment, this book looks at the interdependence of species. Weaving personal narratives with a study of the insect kingdom, it draws parallels between human illness, climate change, and the state of peril in the natural world.
