Canadian Quotes: Katherena Vermette
On July 27th, we celebrate Katherena Vermette!
She thinks of each time, every instance. One by one. Its really the past. Not even hers. Just stories that really belong to other people but were somehow passed to her for safekeeping, for her to know, forever. Incidents. Situations.
They roll by in her head, factual and unemotional. Things she's seen, things her cousins told her, things her mom and Aunty Cher told her and her cousins, Lou and Paul, when they were little kids. All those big and small half-stories that make up a life.
- from The Break by Katherena Vermette
