Gregory Scofield

Witness, I Am

MacKenzie Hamon

Beautiful! I could probably think of a better way of writing that, but seriously, I just loved this collection of poetry so much - particularly the first part on the muskrat woman. Scofield took a very serious subject in MMIW and transformed it into an astounding work that, frankly, left me almost breathless.

Maggie Gordon

Witness, I Am is a volume of poetry that should be spoken aloud. So much of Scofield's work is like a song with rhythm that remands to be heard. The book is split into three distinct sections, one dealing with thematic issues of identity, another a long-form poem about the missing and murdered Indigenous women, and the last more autobiographical. Another great read for those wishing to reflect on Canada post-150.
