Be-Hooved

Mar Ka lives in and writes from the foothills of Alaska's Chugach Mountains".Be-Hooved", her new poetry collection, creates a layered spiritual memoir of her decades in the northern wilderness. The poems inhabit her surroundings – structured along the seasons and the migration patterns of the Porcupine Caribou Herd – and are wrought with a fine and luminous language. Entrancing, profound, and startling, this book is a testament to hope before change, persistence before confusion, and empathy before difference: all the world's light and all the world's dark / can fit into an eye into a heart.
