Swimming to Alaska: Poems in Bloomington, MN

Whether sharing whale oil donuts with Inupiaq neighbors, learning from robins and jays how to "sing by whistling, to praise by chortling," or gazing up at a star-studded sky "rich with the silt of those who have come before us," Doris Jean Lynch travels not just to Alaska but through time and space. With her gift for lyrical narrative and potent haiku, she helps us to better appreciate the cosmos and our place within it.
