Kipocihkan: Poems new and selected


Author:  Gregory Scofield

Publisher:  Nightwood Editions

Edition:  Print

Where I got the book:  Strathcona High School Library

Publisher's summary: 

The word kipocihkan is slang for someone who is mute or unable to speak, and charted in this book is Scofield's journey out of that silence to become one of the most powerful voices of all time.    He applies anger and forgiveness as he writes about poverty, racism, sexual abuse and street life.
