Poetry Across the North: Inuit Perspectives from Greenland and Alaska
The UArctic Chair on Representations, Perceptions and Meditations of the Arctic, led by Professor Daniel Chartier at the Université du Québec à Montréal, has published a collection of interviews and poetry readings featuring two contemporary Inuit poets, Jessie Kleeman (Greenland) and Aisa Warden (Alaska).
The UArctic Chair on Representations, Perceptions and Meditations of the Arctic, led by Professor Daniel Chartier at the Université du Québec à Montréal, has just produced and published a series of interviews and poetry readings with two of the Arctic's greatest contemporary poets, Jessie Kleemann (Greenland) and Aisa Warden (Iñupiaq, Alaska).
This initiative allows the voices of the Inuit to be heard in universal cultural expression. The videos are freely accessible and can be used in teaching and training. They are accompanied by two complete biographies of the authors, which can be found on a website promoting Inuit literature, created by the International Laboratory for Research on Images of the North, Winter, and the Arctic.
