A singular collection of creative responses to the still life paintings of acclaimed artist David Garneau Dark Chapters brings together 17 poets, fiction writers, curators, and critics to engage with the works of David Garneau, the Governor General's Award-winning M�tis artist. Featuring paintings from Garneau's still life series "Dark Chapters" alongside poetry, fiction, critical analysis, and autotheory, the book includes contributions from Fred Wah, Paul Seesequasis, Jesse Wente, Lillian Allen, Billy-Ray Belcourt, Larissa Lai, Susan Musgrave, and more. A nod to the Reports of Truth and Reconciliation Commission, in which Justice Murray Sinclair describes the residential school system as "one of the darkest, most troubling chapters in our nation's history," Garneau's still life paintings combine common objects (books, bones, teacups, mirrors) and less familiar ones (a M�tis sash, a stone hammer, a braid of sweetgrass) to reflect the complexity of contemporary Indigenous experiences. Provocative titles like "M�tis in the Academy" and "Smudge Before Reading" invite consideration of the mixed influences and loyalties faced by Indigenous students and scholars. Other paintings explore colonialism, vertical and lateral violence, Christian influence on traditional knowledge, and museum treatment of Indigenous belongings. Rooted in Garneau's life-long engagement at the intersections of visual art and writing, Dark Chapters presents a multifaceted reflection on the work of an inimitable, unparalleled artist.
