Coteau Authors - Kim Morrissey |
 | | Batoche, Kim Morrissey's first book, has been used as a Canadian Studies text in Canada, Britain, Germany, Norway and Denmark, and as a secondary school text.It is now in its fourth printing and had its debut as an Opera (Composer: William Pura) at the Saskatoon New Play Festival April 21, 2001. |
 | | With wit, sensitivity, generosity, precision and compassion, Morrissey goes beyond the documented facts of the 1885 NorthWest Resistance/Rebellion, and takes on voices of the well-known - Louis Riel, Gabriel Dumont, General Middleton - and the lesser known - Marguerite Riel, the women and children of the community, and anonymous fighters on both sides. |
 | | "Morrissey's poems chip away at the myths of seductiveness and seduction, to reveal a sordid truth underneath: the abuse of innocence, the destruction of tenderness, trust. |
