À propos de l'auteur
Rita Joe
Acclaimed poet Rita Joe (1932–2007) of Whycocomagh First Nation wrote seven books, won numerous awards, and continues to be an influence on poets and other artists across Canada. “I Lost My Talk” is perhaps Joe’s most famous poem, and references her time at the Shubenacadie Residential School. The poem inspired an eponymous multimedia performance at the National Arts Centre in 2016 as well as songs written by Indigenous youth across the country. She is known today as the Poet Laureate of the Mi’kmaq.
