Save Your Prayers – Send Money Has Arrived!

Save Your Prayers – Send Money has arrived! The latest book from Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize–finalist Jónína Kirton boldly takes on the wellness industry, considering disability politics through the lived experience of a seventy-year-old Métis woman and recovering New Ager. A hybrid collection that moves fluidly between prose and poetry, Save Your Prayers – Send Money weaves intergenerational trauma and its impact on health through the daily realities of chronic pain and illness.

An excerpt from “life expecancy”:

“it’s 2025 and the rich are already buying time
they cheat death a decade at a time
while others are consistently considered

an unnecessary expense”

These poems explore where healing might lie and how a peace might be found whether we heal or not. The weft supporting them all is the importance of belonging, of blood memory and cellular memory reaching back to our earliest Ancestors. Pick up your copy here.
