Stars

Overhead #2

by Lucy Haché, Lucy Haché

In this second installation of the Overhead Series, Lucy Haché once again transports the reader with intimate revelations on identity by exploring both her personal and ancestral relationship to the sky and stars. Hache's prose is extraordinary in its combination of self awareness yet unselfconscious honesty and skillful restraint, creating a sense of connection under the vastness of the stars above. Masterfully illustrated by artist Michael Joyal, his evocative astronomic drawings contribute to the overall sensory and transcendent experience.

[Karis Dimas-Lehndorf · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a beautiful book of poetry by a Kwakwaka'wakw/Métis poet. This book explores ideas of identity, healing, relationships, returning to tradition, and wisdom. I love Haché’s writing and perspective. She writes about finding her way back to her roots by turning to her celestial ancestors and reflecting on the strength of the women who came before her. I have nothing but good things to say about this poetry collection.
