Bridging landscape and time, these poems invite readers to sit with the birch, the sun, the river, the ice. -- Nicole Stellon O'Donnell, WILLA Literary Award Winner
This Far North by Susan Campbell is a luminous poetry collection that finds home, solace, and wonder in the northern landscapes of Alaska, connecting reverence for nature, reflection on grief, and the quiet power of attentiveness to the world around us.
When the sound of water shapes sleep. / When cranes disappear from the river. / When maps unfold on hardwood floors. / When north becomes the only direction. The poems in This Far North hold reverence for the natural world and the ways we find home when we pay attention to what it is offering. Tethered to northern landscapes, Susan Campbell invites readers to look, look deeper at the world's myriad wonders, to pause and consider what we can learn when we stand still long enough to listen to the trill of kinglets, the susurration of water, snow sloughing in December rain. Seeking gratitude while navigating a world suffused with grief and loss, these poems are compass points, cairns to help us find our way.
