The first anthology of urban Aboriginal songs by Gregory Scofield
is a retrospective of the award-winning poet's pivotal work to
date. The word "kipocihkan" is Cree slang for someone who is mute
or unable to speak, and charted in this book is Scofield's journey
out of that silence to become one of the most powerful voices of
our time.
"I make offerings to my Grandmothers and Grandfathers when I write.
I ask them to come and sit with me, to give me courage and
strength. I ask them to help me be honest, reflective of the
ceremony that I am about to begin. I ask them to guide me, to help
me touch people. I ask to make good medicine, even out of something
bad. When people read my work it's not just the book that they
read, it's the medicine behind the words. That's where the power
comes from. That's where the healing comes from."
--Scofield in "January Magazine"
