A Good Time for the Truth: Race in Minnesota
|
Sixteen of Minnesota's best writers provide a range of perspectives on what it is like to live as a person of color in one of the whitest states in the nation. Essays that challenge, discomfort, disorient, galvanize, and inspire all of us to change now, for our shared future.
Our world is shaped by the sounds around us and the filter we use to turn thoughts into words. These poems build in urgency, from observations of the natural world and human connection to poems centered in powerful grief and remembrance.
Show someone you care with the gift of books! Birchbark Books digital gift cards are a wonderful way to support us during these challenging times. Good for any purchase at birchbarkbooks.com.

The Night Watchman
by Louise Erdrich
Based on the extraordinary life of National Book Award-winning author Louise Erdrich’s grandfather, who worked as a night watchman and carried the fight against Native dispossession from rural North Dakota all the way to Washington, D.C., this powerful novel explores themes of love and death with lightness and gravity and unfolds with the elegant prose, sly humor, and depth of feeling of a master craftsman. Signed by Louise!
