The New York Times Book Review called that collection “raw” and “unflinching”, the Globe and Mail called it “a tour de force” and Booklist called it "required reading.” Alicia and talk about her upcoming first novel, about the slightly unreal-sounding process of writing and publishing her first book, and about how she has handled the occasionally complicated reality of being a high-profile Indigenous writer.
