Unlike most books of poems nowadays, Goodbye, Ice by Lawrence Millman has a strong ecological bias. The book offers a window on the natural world of the Arctic and its tradition-bound indigenous people. Climate change, inevitably, raises its ugly head in many of the poems, but the book itself is a lament not just for the loss of ice, but for the loss of the Arctic itself.

They document a way of life in the subarctic bush that has now all but disappeared. In them, human beings and animals are of equal importance, so much so that they often marry each other. People who don't respect animals don't get any game and end up starving to death. Characters i...

In doing so he produces a "lovely nugget of good writing" (New York Times) that relays the stories of traditional laborers tinkers cartwrights, rat-charmers, coopers, thatchers, farriers, gleemen, pig-gelders wi...

At the End of the World is the remarkable story of a series of murders that occurred in an extremely remote corner of the Arctic in 1941. Those murders show that senseless violence in the name of religion is not only a contemporary phenomenon, and that a people as seemingly peaceful as the Inuit can become unpeaceful at the drop of a hat or, in this instance, a meteor shower. At the same time, the book is a warning cry against the destruction ...
