The Malahat Review Issue 233 is a special issue themed “Inhale/Exhale: Contemporary Indigenous Storytelling.” Guest Editor Richard Van Camp welcomes readers to this issue: “When we write, our sprits dance. When we read, our spirits are welcomed into that dance. You’ll feel pretty quick that in ‘Inhale/Exhale’ some of us are already two-steppin’; some of us are jigging; others have joined hands in a round dance. Welcome. Get on in here and join us.”
Van Camp also includes a special acknowledgement: “I’d like to dedicate this special edition of The Malahat Review to the memory and legacy of Dr. Greg Younging, whose 2018 book on editing Indigenous writing, Elements of Indigenous Style, guided all of us in making these selections.”
