Standing in a River of Time merges poetry and lyrical memoir on a journey exposing the intergenerational effects of colonization on a Métis family. Kirton does not shy away from hard realities, meeting them head on, but always treating them with respect and the love stemming from a lifetime of spiritual healing and decades of sobriety. This collection unravels painful memories and a mixed-blood woman's journey towards wholeness. The Ancestors whisper to Kirton throughout, asking her to heal, to bring them home, so that within these stories of redemption and loss the dead walk with us, their presence felt as the story unfurls in unexpected ways. Kirton does not offer false hope, nor does she push us towards answers we are not yet ready for. Instead, she gestures towards the many healing modalities she has explored as she discovers that the path to reconciliation is not only a long and winding road, but also that it begins with those closest to us.

About the Author
Kirton, Jónína: - Jónína Kirton, a Red River Métis/Icelandic poet, graduated from the Simon Fraser University Writer's Studio in 2007, where she is now an instructor. Although she acknowledges and is thankful for the teachings offered through academic institutions, she leans heavily into what some term "other ways of knowing." Her writing is often a weaving of body and land, as she firmly believes that until we care for women's bodies we will not care for the earth.

A late-blooming poet, she was sixty-one when she received the 2016 Vancouver's Mayor's Arts Award for an Emerging Artist in the Literary Arts category. Her second collection of poetry, An Honest Woman, was a finalist for the 2018 Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize.

A landless Métis citizen, she currently lives in New Westminster, British Columbia, the unceded territory of many Coast Salish nations, including the Qayqayt, S'ólh Téméxw (Stó lō), sc̓əwaθenaɁɬ təməxʷ(Tsawwassen), sxʷməθkʷəy̓əmaɁɬ təməxʷ (Musqueam), Sḵwxwú7mesh, səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm, Stz'uminus, sq̓əc̓iy̓aɁɬ təməxʷ (Katzie) and Kwantlen.
