Summary:

"Milk Black Carbon works against the narratives of dispossession and survival that mark the contemporary experience of many indigenous people, and Inuit in particular. In this collection, autobiographical details {u2013} motherhood, marriage, extended family and its geographical context in the rapidly changing arctic {u2013} negotiate arbitrary landscapes of our perplexing frontiers through fragmentation and interpretation of conventional lyric expectations."--Publisher's website.
