Descriere magazin:
George Ryga Award for Social Award: Jordan Abel, The Place of Scraps (Finalist) BC Book Prize, Poetry: Jordan Abel, The Place of Scraps (Winner) The Place of Scraps revolves around Marius Barbeau, an early-twentieth-century ethnographer, who studied many of the First Nations cultures in the Pacific Northwest, including Jordan Abel\'s ancestral Nisga\'a Nation. Barbeau, in keeping with the popular thinking of the time, believed First Nations cultures were about to disappear completely, and that it was up to him to preserve what was left of these dying cultures while he could. Unfortunately, his methods of preserving First Nations cultures included purchasing totem poles and potlatch items from struggling communities in order to sell them to museums. While Barbeau strove to protect First Nations cultures from vanishing, he ended up playing an active role in dismantling the very same cultures he tried to save. Drawing inspiration from Barbeau\'s canonical book Totem Poles , Jordan Abel explores the complicated relationship between First Nations cultures and ethnography. His poems simultaneously illuminate Barbeau\'s intentions and navigate the repercussions of the anthropologist\'s actions. Through the use of erasure techniques, Abel carves out new understandings of Barbeau\'s writing - each layer reveals a fresh perspective, each word takes on a different connotation, each letter plays a different role, and each punctuation mark rises to the surface in an unexpected way. As Abel writes his way ever deeper into Barbeau\'s words, he begins to understand that he is much more connected to Barbeau than he originally suspected.
