Hope Matters
About this book
Hope Matters, written by multiple award-winner Lee Maracle, in collaboration with her daughters Columpa Bobb and Tania Carter, focuses on the journey of Indigenous people from colonial beginnings to reconciliation.
Maracle states that the book, "is also about the journey of myself and my two daughters." During their youth, Bobb and Carter wrote poetry with their mother, and eventually they all decided that one day they would write a book together. This book is the result of that dream.
Written collaboratively by all three women, the poems in Hope Matters blend their voices together into a shared song of hope and reconciliation.

Information
chapter 1
raven created romance
I Am Older Now
Falling in love is a misnomer
We rise in it, flying high
Witless about the drop
I am older now
I rise in it sooner
Fly much higher
The drop is farther
It is the landing I mind
LM
The Beginning of the World
Long, long ago,
before anything was,
save only the heavens,
from the seat of a golden throne
Sun God looked out on Moon Goddess
and found her beautiful.
Hour after hour,
with hopeless love,
he watched the spot where, at evening,
she would sometimes come out to wander
through her silver garden
in the cool of the dusk.
Far he sent his gaze across the heavens
until the time came,
one day, when she returned his look of love,
turning eyes of wistful longing
toward her distant lover.
Their thoughts of love and longing
found each other,
they met halfway,
mingled,
hung suspended in space…
Thus: the beginning of the world.
LM
When the Sun Refuses to Give the Sky to Rain
Hungry charcoal clouds swoop down
devour whole mountains with a deep diaphanous kiss
And Sun, he hoards the sky sitting atop his desire
Water drops pound out a percussive lilt
pressing tin jazz symbols into the sea
with every drop of Rain’s plump liquid players
each penetrating push tickles, pulling whitecaps
onto the gelatinous skin of the Pacific
Sun blushing, screams
at his palpitating urge to enter
to possess her cool, soft, watery cells
Sun licks, groans at his palpable tumescence
burns Rain’s puckered bite into breathless steam
as he begs for her liquid silver to spend
and temper his worn and tortured heat
His discontent, hot and mounting
slides easily into her swollen silk seduction
feeds her full and pouting swells
with each burning star-thrust
And in the darkness, entangled in their wet hot storm
they find electricity
rage through the night and into each other
until they come into a wind-swept blindness
a moan spent and fragile
without the strength or desire to scream
