The Snow in Us

The Snow in Us immerses the reader in the life and culture of the Inuit, the native people of Canada's Arctic. David P. Reiter's first collection sets verse of sensitivity and perception against accomplished drawings by two artists - Canadian Lloyd Bennett and Australian Marilyn Higgins - who strike a balance between depicting life on the fringe as it was for the Inuit and as it has changed since Europeans began their push north. These are poems that entice readers to explore boundaries at once foreign yet hauntingly familiar.
