Full of lush language and imagery, each poem is an act of devotion and love to one's family and land. Carrie Ayaġaduk Ojanen weaves a moving portrait of grief, of the rippling effects of historical trauma on succeeding generations, of resilience in the face of adversity, of respect for the Alaska Native traditions she grew up in. With vivid imagery, she draws the reader into Northern life, where the spiritual and industrial collide. She uses formalism and lyrical free verse to explore the natural world and to conjure a place of staggering beauty that hides death around every corner. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A member of the Ugiuvamiut tribe, Ojanen grounds her work in a web of familial relationships. Especially important is her connection with her grandparents, members of the last generation to make their home on Ugiuvak (King Island), Alaska. With heartfelt verse, her poems reflect the staggering cultural changes her grandparents faced and the way traditional art forms continue to unite her community and help them connect to the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carrie Ayagaduk Ojanen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1602233624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781602233621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Alaska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.80w x 0.30d","brand":"Carrie Ayagaduk Ojanen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996362670335,"sku":"9781602233621","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f3e6a95-9110-4eaa-9396-568f6c0ea2ad.jpg?v=1683341257","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/roughly-for-the-north-carrie-ayagaduk-ojanen-9781602233621","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
