<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Marie Tozier's Open the Dark is an exquisite collection of poems depicting a generational tapestry woven with the shared ebb and flow of land and sea and time. Loving hands, dyed sweet with raspberries and lingonberries, pass ancestral knowledge-of the hunt for seal and crab to pressing ironless, ruler-straight seams-from grandmother to mother, mother to daughter. This is a collection that beckons, like a mother's warm embrace, into the vibrant scent and taste of Inupiaq Alaska"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Marie Tozier's</strong> <em>Open the Dark</em> is an exquisite collection of poems depicting a generational tapestry woven with the shared ebb and flow of land and sea and time.

Marie Tozier's first book of poems clearly is emplaced in family, community, geography, history, and the seasonality of animals and plants in Western Alaska. An echo of Lorine Niedecker's limpid trust in the truths of the physical world and the rage and sorrow of Layli Long Soldier's work against the harm of cultural silencing rings through <em>Open the Dark</em>. Trust this direct, clear voice.
