Today our guest is Métis poet Gre­go­ry Scofield. In 2016, Gre­go­ry pub­lished his first new book of poet­ry in five years: Wit­ness, I Am. The poet­ry is chill­ing, force­ful, lyri­cal, and spir­i­tu­al. We talk about the project of bring­ing voic­es to Miss­ing and Mur­dered Indige­nous Women, the role of oral­i­ty and song in his craft, and how Gre­go­ry under­stands poet­ry as beadwork.
