- More about Blood Snow
Dg okpik's second collection of poems, Blood Snow, is a finalist for the 2023 Pulitzer Prize and was listed in The Boston Globe's Best Poetry Books of 2022. It tells a continuum story of a homeland under erasure, in an ethos of erosion, and in a multitude of encroaching methane, ice floe, and rising temperatures. Through an animist process of transfiguration into a Shaman's omniscient voice, the poems have a fraught relationship to her former home in Anchorage, Alaska, a place of unparalleled natural beauty and a traumatic site of devastation.

American Book Award-winning poet dg okpiks second collection of poems, Blood Snow,
tells a continuum story of a homeland under erasure, in an ethos of erosion, in a multitude of encroaching methane, ice floe, and rising temperatures.
Here, in a true Inupiaq voice, dg okpiks relationship to language is an access point for understanding larger kinships between animals, peoples, traditions, histories, ancestries, and identities.
Through an animist process of transfiguration into a Shaman's omniscient voice, we are greeted with a destabilizing grammar of selfhood.
Okpiks poems have a fraught relationship to her former home in Anchorage, Alaska, a place of unparalleled natural beauty and a traumatic site of devastation for Alaskan native nations and landscapes alike.
In this way, okpiks poetry speaks to the dualistic nature of reality and how one's existence in the world simultaneously shapes and is shaped by its environs.
Dg okpiks is a powerful and visionary poet whose work is essential for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of our world and our place in it.
Her poetry is a testament to the power of language and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.
We are honored to publish her work and to share it with our readers.
Thank you for your support and for reading.
