On/Me Woodland of childhood recaptured in theOn Me is a book of poems by Francine Cunningham, a Cree, Metis writer, artist, and educator, who explores what it means to live with constant reminders that she doesnt fit the desired expectations of the world: she is a white passing, city raised Indigenous woman with mental illness who has lost her mother. In her debut poetry collection On Me, Cunningham explores, with keen attention and poise, what it means to be forced to exist within the margins.
