*Dark Chapters* brings together a diverse group of writers and artists to engage with the powerful works of David Garneau, the Métis artist whose still life series blends everyday and culturally significant objects to explore contemporary Indigenous experiences. With contributions from renowned voices like Fred Wah, Billy-Ray Belcourt, and Larissa Lai, this collection offers poetry, fiction, critical essays, and personal reflections that delve into the complexities of colonialism, identity, and reconciliation. Garneau’s evocative paintings, such as "Métis in the Academy" and "Smudge Before Reading," invite deep reflection on the legacies of residential schools and the ongoing impacts of colonial violence. A thought-provoking tribute to an artist who continues to shape the conversation around Indigenous representation.
