In her new personal essay colleciton, Carry: A Memoir of Survival on Stolen Land, author Toni Jensen explores the intersection of gun violence, race, gender and the environment. The University of Arkansas creative writing professor explains how being Metis, experiencing gun violence first-hand and the pandemic all shaped the stories in her latest book.
