Dawaa: The Space Between celebrates in poetry the tensions and beauty between the two ancestral languages of the author: Ojibwe and English.
As a First Nations woman, Tareyn Johnson grew up without knowing the language of her ancestors. Her grandparents attended residential school, and neither they, nor her mother carried the language. Left with a deep longing desire to embrace Anishnaabemowin (Ojibwe) language, she began her learning journey as an adult.
As her understanding grew, words began to form visually in her mind. As a result, twenty-six poems-two for each of the Thirteen Moons-grouped seasonally, beautifully juxtapose Ojibwe and English to express Johnson's feeling of existing between two languages.
This collection of poems-not intended as a didactic or language teaching tool-examines the unique experience of walking between two worlds, speaking and learning two languages, and relating the two ways of knowing in a liminal space... the space between.
nanda-gikendan-seek to know it, seek to learn it.
