Love Letters to Divided Nations (2024)
Blondin Burt, Cassandra
ISBN 978-1-7774919-4-9 | $12.00 | English
Cassandra’s work is grounded in the exploration of healing through co-creation with earth and story. Cassandra believes that the radical act of being in-relation to our other-than-human-relations is an act of political and personal rebellion, and a pathway for collective and personal transformation and healing.
Through a deepening relationship with the land-body we call Earth, Cassandra explores a regenerative art and creation praxis that allows them to move through myriad contemporary settler-colonial social structures and ideologies with intent, and curiosity.
Cassandra Blondin Burt is a two-spirit member of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation, born and raised on the southern coast of BC. Their grandparents are Georgina Blondin and Duncan Pryde. Cassandra is a two-spirit Dene artist, philosophy student, plant medicine maker, and performing artist. This is their first poetry collection.
