A Family of Dreamers

Short-listed for Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize 2024

In this debut poetry collection, Samantha Nock redefines where and what "home" is. A Family of Dreamers delves into the complexities of growing up in rural northeast British Columbia and the love and grief that blooms there. In this debut collection, Samantha Nock weaves together threads of fat liberation, desirability politics, and heartbreak while working through her existence as a young Indigenous woman coming of age in the city. The result is a love song to northern cuzzins, dive bars, and growing up.
