Dark Traffic

by Joan Naviyuk Kane
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
<i>Dark Traffic</i> creates landmarks through language, by which its speakers begin to describe traumas in order to survive and move through them. With fine detail and observation, these poems work in some way like poetic weirs: readers of Kane's work will see the arctic and subarctic, but also, more broadly, America, and the exigencies of motherhood, indigenous experience, feminism, and climate crises alongside the near-necropastoral of misogyny, violence, and systemic failures. These contexts catch the voice of the poems' speakers, and we perceive the currents they create. <b>Excerpt from "Dark Traffic"</b> Consolation may turn out to be a guttural practice, after all, the small gesture of sound lodged deep before it glides without warning downward. There is nothing but the wind, a howl and dive where water is thrown over water and sown into it.
