Description
"Tozier's first book of poems clearly is emplaced in family, community, geography, history, and the seasonality of animals and plants in Western Alaska." --Elizabeth Bradfield, author ofToward AntarcticaOpen the Dark is an exquisite collection of poems depicting a generational tapestry woven with the shared ebb and flow of land and sea and time. Loving hands, dyed sweet with raspberries and lingonberries, pass ancestral knowledge--of the hunt for seal and crab to pressing ironless, ruler-straight seams--from grandmother to mother, mother to daughter. This is a collection that beckons, like a mother's warm embrace, into the vibrant scent and taste of I�upiaq Alaska.
"A lyrical guide to the life in Northwest Alaska experienced by the I�upiaq poet and her family . . . Like most books of good poems, it is also a gallery of images for revisiting time after time." -- 49 Writers
"These deceptively simple poems enlarge with repeated readings; they unfold greater meaning each time and leave a reader with much to contemplate about identity, cultures, generational wisdom, and values. Marie Tozier's fresh voice is a very welcome addition to Alaskan, Indigenous and American literature." -- Anchorage Daily News
