Praise for Absent Here: Poems (Pitt Poetry Series)
“Visual, sensual, and clear, this collection maps a distinctly Alaskan space. The relationships, realities, land, sky, creatures, waters—ice—of the Arctic breathe in these poems like characters. There’s a tricky math at work: each poem adds to or subtracts from what a lone human can know. This is life as some gorgeous zero-sum game. These poems, even if defined by howling absence, encourage us to mark the present and live, simply live, in it.”
—Heidi Erdrich, Donald Hall Prize for Poetry judge
