Merging poetry and historical records, Zits masterfully (re)creates
a poetic view of the Frog Lake Massacre of April 2, 1885. His
collage and cut-up techniques challenge the histories penned by the
event's recorders and reflect upon the difficult and painful
complexities of past and present. He weaves together voices of
Metis and First Nations participants, settlers, and military
officials, using tape transcripts, historical accounts, memoirs,
and footnotes to create a unique, non-narrative historiography of
fragmented poetic language. This innovative work of literary
montage digs deep into a historic period that continues to garner
scholarly and public interest. Readers interested in poetry and
Canadian history will find this an intriguing new collection.
