Meeting Joanna Shawana was a pleasure.
We drank coffee, chatted, took some photos and hit the park to do a recording of her reading her poems.
Shawana wrote a poem on the spot and then read it for blackcoffeepoet.com; a first for the magazine!
Enjoy Joanna Shawana’s poetry.
Tune in to Black Coffee Poet Monday June 13, 2011 for a review of “She Is Reading Her Blanket With Her Hands” by Two-Spirit Metis poet Sharon Proulx-Turner.
