"The Place of Scraps" explores the relationship between First
Nations cultures and ethnography. Marius Barbeau--an
early-twentieth-century ethnographer who studied First Nations
cultures, including Jordan Abel's ancestral Nisga'a
Nation--believed that these ancient cultural practices were about
to disappear completely. Through poetic erasure techniques, Abel
carves out new and unexpected understandings of Barbeau's
writing.
Jordan Abel is a First Nations writer who lives in Vancouver,
British Columbia. He holds a BA from the University of Alberta and
a MFA from the University of British Columbia. Abel is an editor
for "Poetry Is Dead" magazine and the former poetry editor for
"PRISM International."
