Review of Nunaqtigiit by Joan Kane

Nunaqtigiit by Joan Kane was offered by Poets.org's Poem-A-Day on January 7, 2013.  The author is an Inupiat who lives in Alaska, and her poetry is inspired by her heritage and landscape.  She is apart, yet her poetry speaks of being one with the world and its people.  Even if her entire poem cannot be understood by someone outside her milieu, there is a certain pleasure to be found in just reading her words.
