Is it enough that I'vecleared a space on my deskto light this candle for you?Would that I couldhave made more room. nipakosêyimon kahkî-tawinamâtân. Through poems that move between the two languages, McIlwraithexplores the beauty of the intersection between nêhiyawêwin, the Plains Cree language, and English, âkayâsîmowin.
