Making Love With the Land

The boundary- and genre-bending non-fiction collection from the Giller-longlisted, GG-shortlisted and Canada Reads winning author of Jonny Appleseed.

Making Love with the Land is a startling, challenging, uncompromising look at what it means to live as an Indigenous person in the rupture between identities. In these ten unique, heart-piercing non-fiction pieces, award-winning writer Joshua Whitehead illuminates the com­plex moment we are living through now, in which Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples are navigating new and old ideas about the land. He asks: What is our relationship and responsi­bility towards it? And how has the land shaped ideas, histories, words, our very bodies?

Intellectually thrilling and emotionally captivat­ing, this book is a love song for the world and for the library of stories to be found where body meets land, waiting to be unearthed and summoned into word.
