LaRose\u003c\/b\u003e Indigenizes the sonnet, undoing its classical constraints and retooling the form for current political circumstances. Packed with family lore, these poems reflect on how deeply we can trust the terms we use to construct our identity. A proud citizen of the Métis Nation, \u003cb\u003eLaRose\u003c\/b\u003e even questions his right to identify as such: \"I was made in someone else's home,\" he writes. \u003ci\u003eWolf Sonnets\u003c\/i\u003e is verse obsessed with names, infinity, numbers, categories, and interconnectedness. Depicting his ancestors as wolves--symbols of survival and protection--\u003cb\u003eLaRose\u003c\/b\u003e bring fresh insight to his wider poetic project: castigating the inequality, greed, and racism inherent to colonialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eR.
