What is She Is Reading Her Blanket with Her Hands : the Dedication Poems about?

I am humbled by the women and girls in my world, and I thank the great spirit for their presence. my mtis grandmother, germaine proulx-boyce, taught me to embroider, to work with ribbon. I am told I have her hands, and the hands of exilda dufort-lafrance, my great-great-grandmother. I have passed these hands to my daughter, barb, and to my granddaughters, jessinia and mazie. these hands of mine love to write, and I am told my great-grandmother, rosina lafrance-proulx, was a poet, that she talked to the trees, to the plants and animals. and now she talks to me. more than fifteen years ago, rosina's voice in mine, I woke up to the words she is reading her blanket with her hands, the birthing of the poems in this book.
