Through an animist process of transfiguration into a Shaman's omniscient voice, we are greeted with a destabilizing grammar of selfhood. Okpik's 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, okpik's 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\/p\u003e","brand":"Wave Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54229635563864,"sku":"9781950268634","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781950268634_499d6c6f-48d8-4caf-b0fc-0750968ed616.jpg?v=1765876542","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/blood-snow-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
