With fine detail and observation, these poems work in some way like poetic weirs: readers of Kane's work will see the arctic and subarctic, but also, more broadly, America, and the exigencies of motherhood, indigenous experience, feminism, and climate crises alongside the near-necropastoral of misogyny, violence, and systemic failures. These contexts catch the voice of the poems' speakers, and we perceive the currents they create.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoan Naviyuk Kane\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the poetry collections \u003ci\u003eThe Cormorant Hunter's Wife\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHyperboreal\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMilk Black Carbon\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Dark Traffic\u003c\/i\u003e.
