'Monster' by poet Dennis Saddleman

Boys in a classroom c. 1945 at St. Anne's Indian Residential School in Fort Albany, Ont. (Edmund Metatawabin collection/Algoma University)

Last week I listened to Dennis Saddleman reading this poem at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings in Edmonton. I have never heard such a powerful piece of work. I'm glad that CBC has released this version on Soundcloud that I can share with you.
