Here Webb-Campbell revisits the text of her earlier work Who Took My Sister? to examine her self, her place and her own poetic strategies. These poems are efforts to decolonize, unlearn, and undo harm. Reconsidering individual poems and letters, Webb-Campbell's confessional writing circles back, and challenges what it means ask questions of her own settler-Indigenous identity, belonging, and attempts to cry out for community, and call in with love. Edited for the press, and with an introduction by Lee Maracle; includes an an afterword by the author."-- Introduction / by Lee Maracle -- After the upheaval -- I have been called out -- I want to embrace my ancestors -- A sphere within our sphere -- Somewhere between known body and spirit -- I looked to the river -- By reclaiming Ktaqamkuk -- On airplane mode -- The call-out was a cry out -- I feed myself poems -- Runaway -- See how low the moon hangs -- I only have one photo left of Mary -- Their world view is a new home in an ancient land -- I carry you through water -- A hot pink sky -- We slipped through the cracks of a system -- You fear retribution -- On receiving a government letter, rejecting our Indian status -- I used to take the gum from your mouth -- Letter to Joseph R.
