Through food, music, dance, and family history, Blizzard explores the art of belonging - to a family, a neighbourhood, a group, or a country. Using traditional narrative and the tools of poetry, Blizzard's essays hover at the crossroads, in the spaces where art, science, and spirit collide. The intimate becomes universal, the questions are all relevant, and the answers of our times require a sleight of hand - the holding of simultaneous and overlapping worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16228782\"\u003eGloria Blizzard\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dundurn Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781459752801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1459752805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO026000\"\u003eMemoirs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LCO\"\u003eLiterary Collections\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LCO010000\"\u003eEssays\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC007000\"\u003eEmigration \u0026amp; Immigration\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGloria Blizzard\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning writer and poet, and a Black Canadian woman of multiple heritages.
