6. Remember to Wave by Kaia Sand
KSW recently had the fortune to have Kaia Sand and her partner Jules Boykoff up from Portland for a reading and workshop in Vancouver, and I had the fortune to purchase each of their most recent books.
Remember to Wave maps dispersal and displacement on a palimpsest of Portland, Oregon, charting the internment of Japanese Americans during the war and a disastrous flood at VanPort (Vancouver, Washington / Portland,Oregon) that wiped out a PODS city. The traumatic history of the US western coast echoes the traumatic history of the Canadian western coast.
This. Book. Is. So. Necessary. And. So. Good.
