We talk to Elgin award-winning  L’nu’skw (Mi’kmaw) writer and poet Tiffany Morris about her debut novella Green Fuse Burning. We discuss the duality of nature - its ability to both give and take life - the importance of swampcore and ecohorror at a time of severe climate distress, Indigenous perspectives on identity, spirituality, and connection with land, the ways in which capitalism can delay healing from grief and PTSD, and so much more.
