nedí nezų (Good Medicine) explores the beautiful space that being a sensual Indigenous woman creates—not only as a partner, a fantasy, a heartbreak waiting to happen but also as an auntie, a role model, a voice that connects to others walking the same path. From the online hookup world of DMs, double taps, and secret texts to earth-shakingly erotic encounters under the northern stars to the ever-complicated relationship Indigenous women have with mainstream society, this poetry collection doesn't shy away from depicting the gorgeous diversity in decolonized desire. Instead, Campbell creates the most intimate of spaces, where the tea is hot and a seat is waiting, surrounded by the tantalizing laughter of aunties telling stories.

These wise, jubilant poems chronicle many failed attempts at romance, with the wry humour needed to not take these heartbreaks personally, and the growth that comes from sitting in the silence of living a solo life in a world that insists everyone should be partnered up. With a knowing smile, this book side-eyes the political existence and celebrates the lived experience of an Indigenous woman falling in love and lust with those around her—but, most importantly, with herself.

nedí nezų is a smart, sensual, and scandalous collection dripping in Indigenous culture yet irresistible to anyone in thrall to the magnificent disaster that is dating, sex, and relationships.

      A Dene/M�tis poet and artist from Saskatchewan, Campbell (#IndianLovePoems, 2017) delivers evocative, erotic lyrics through a lens of present-day indigeneity. Filled with an endless stream of sublime flirtation, brief flings, one-night stands, full-throated fantasies, and sincere attempts at satisfaction and fulfillment, the collection manages to be both delicately tender and unabashedly brazen. In short bursts of quick lines, Campbell packs raunchy entendre, titillating depictions, and joyful indulgence, revealing the more deliciously scandalous aspects of contemporary quests for companionship. Whether it's calling out a match on a dating app for copying and pasting compliments into her DMs, questioning a hook up's advertised ""relationship status"" mid-make out, or twisting lust into language (""let my tongue lick and suck / your vowels and consonants""), the poems are raw and revelrous. In a collection that bares all so freely, Campbell's incorporation of words, phrases, and even entire poems in her native language adds to the book's allure: ""I didn't tell you then / but you made me degharé naltsel / Beaver River style."" Especially recommended for fans of Rupi Kaur.
