Rosanna Deerchild opens up Unreserved's "Valentine's Day" episode (February 11th) with interviews at Winnipeg's Portage Place Mall, where we meet Josh and Cody (1:50-4:00), who ever-so-sweetly remind Rosanna that for gay men, it is not Tinder, but Grinder.
The week prior (February 4th) is an episode dubbed "The power of transformation" that focuses on changes to the corporeal body (Gwen Benaway, Lauren Sylliboy and Vizin), but also to that body of writing known as the text (Jordan Abel on his recent book Injun, 2016 [29:04-37:27]).
Like Abel, Deerchild is a literary writer. Her books include this is a small northern poem (2008) and Calling Down the Sky (2015). Here is a link to one of her best known poems, "On the First Day".
