This Alaska<\/em><\/h1>\n

To live in an Alaska of the mind is to map the imagined cartography of winter on all that is physical. To dwell perpetually in a symbolic cold, and to emerge, with grace, unscathed. This book questions what it means to live and love in such a buried season. This Alaska<\/em> interrogates all that emotional and physical intimacy cannot salvage or keep warm. Death and dreams are at the very center of this book. But life \u2014 and all it entails and circles and loses and loves \u2014 is at its heart.<\/p>\n

HUNTING LESSON<\/p>\n

In the lozenge-colored glow of the garage
\nyou are the hero skinning a rabbit<\/p>\n

bit by bit, careful not to hook a vein.
\nI am the daughter peering through the window.<\/p>\n

What if the world really is a stale bowl of water
\nthat we can\u2019t keep our fingers out of\u2014<\/p>\n

The night sky stiffens in a squeal of light.
\nHow can I look away?<\/p>\n
