Clay Pots and Bones

Poetry is Lindsay Marshall’s way of telling stories, of speaking with others about what things that matter to him. His heritage. His people. His life as a Mi’kmaw. For the reader, Clay Pots and Bones is a colourful journey from early days, when the People of the Dawn understood, interacted with and roamed the land freely, to the turbulent present and the uncertain future where Marshall envisions a rebirth of the Mi’kmaq. The poetry challenges and enlightens. It will, most certainly, entertain. Lindsay Robert Marshall is a frequent contributor of poetry for important celebrations including as Mi’kmaw poet laureate for an official visit to Nova Scotia by Queen Elizabeth II (2010). He has been featured artist at numerous literary and arts festivals. Poetry, Aboriginal Mi’kmaw poetry.
