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. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 29 December 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wave Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinalist for the 2023 Pulitzer Prize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eListed in The Boston Globe's Best Poetry Books of 2022\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eLonglisted for the PEN\/Voelcker Award in Poetry\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Book Award-winning poet dg okpiks second collection of poems, Blood Snow,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003etells a continuum story of a homeland under erasure, in an ethos of erosion, in a multitude of encroaching methane, ice floe, and rising temperatures.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHere, 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.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThrough an animist process of transfiguration into a Shaman's omniscient voice, we are greeted with a destabilizing grammar of selfhood.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOkpiks 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.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDg 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.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eHer poetry is a testament to the power of language and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe are honored to publish her work and to share it with our readers.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThank you for your support and for reading.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 362g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 184 x 239 x 15 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781950268641\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"dg nanouk okpik","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44098764570874,"sku":"9781950268641","price":19.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1672403333710_book.jpg?v=1672480181","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/blood-snow-9781950268641","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
