Review # 1 was written on 2011-03-13 00:00:00 Malynda Kerwood This poetry collection by Chrystos, an urban Indigenous lesbian poet, is still as relevant, poignant and beautiful now as I'm sure it was when it was first published over 30 years ago. Chrystos explores Indigeneity as an urban Indigenous person who's disconnected from her culture and family, setter colonialism, her sexuality as a lesbian, racism within LGBTQ spaces, abuse and sexual violence, as well as a myriad of other important topics. Not Vanishing is essential reading for anyone interested in Indigenous and lesbian literature/experiences.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-09-17 00:00:00 Stella Bautista A set of really evocative poems that dig into your head. Her line breaks are just dazzling, and the material itself is painful, angry, and so tender and soft by turns. I would love to spend more time with it, and want to for sure. Strongly recommend.
