by Michelle Saport |
The University of Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ Press has released , poems by Kim Cornwall, edited by Wendy Erd; by Mar Ka; and they are now distributing Marjoire Kowalski Cole's poems.
Of Darkness and Light is an honest work and stunningly passionate. Kim Cornwall's spirit-infused poetry weaves family and myth-strong women, wild landscapes, the search for reconciliation in circumstances beyond control-in a radiant language of pain, solace, wonder and gratitude.
Kim Cornwall (1967-2010) grew up in British Columbia's long valleys and vast family ranches. Her poem, "What Whales and Infants Know," inspired a statewide poetry project, "Poems in Place," that set poems by Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ writers on signs in Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ's state parks. Wendy Erd is an Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ poet and former director of "Poems in Place."
Be-Hooved, Mar Ka's new poetry collection, creates a layered spiritual memoir of her decades in the northern wilderness. The poems inhabit her surroundings-structured along the seasons and the migration patterns of the Porcupine caribou herd-and are wrought with a fine and luminous language.
Marjorie Kowalski Cole's award-winning poetry and fiction have appeared in numerous journals. She lived in northern Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ from 1966 until her death in 2009. She worked at a lumber yard, as a printer, an instructor at the University of Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ Fairbanks, and as a reference librarian.
